W&L Men's Basketball Drops Heartbreaker to Emory & Henry, 49-48

LEXINGTON, Va. -- Freshman guard Lance Reasbeck (Satellite Beach, Fla./Satellite Beach) hit a three-pointer with 4.8 seconds remaining to lift Emory & Henry to a 49-48 win over Washington and Lee in ODAC men's basketball action on Wednesday evening at the Warner Center.

Just 13 seconds earlier, the Generals held the ball with a 48-46 lead, but freshman guard Chris Halkitis (New Port Richey, Fla./Ridgewood) could not convert a one-and-one at the foul line setting up Reasbeck's heroics.

W&L (5-15, 3-10) shot 52.0 percent (13-25) in the first half en route to a 31-24 halftime lead. However, the Generals went cold in the second half, shooting just 29.6 percent (8-27) in the second stanza and scoring just six points in the final 12 minutes of the contest.

W&L was led by Halkitis, who tallied 16 points. Sophomore forward Phil Landes (Cincinnati, Ohio/Mariemont) added 13 points on 6-of-11 shooting from the floor.

Emory & Henry (11-9, 6-7) was paced by senior guard Justin Call's (Ronda, N.C./East Wilkes) 16 points. Junior guard Ben Fisher (Radford, Va./Radford) contributed 10 points. Reasbeck's game-winning three-pointer came on his only shot of the game. He finished with four assists.

Washington and Lee returns to action on Saturday as it travels to Hampden-Sydney for a 2:00 pm contest.
