BRIDGEWATER, Va. -- Bridgewater College held a 46-27 rebounding advantage and hit 29 free throws en route to a 64-56 win over Washington and Lee in ODAC men's basketball action on Wednesday evening.

The Eagles (3-2, 1-0) led by as many as 14 points (24-10) in the first half, but an 11-0 W&L run over the final 4:06 of the first half and initial 1:38 of the second half gave the Generals a 29-28 lead with 18:22 left to play. The game remained nip-and-tuck for the next 11 minutes until the Eagles pushed out to a 10-point lead on four occasions in the final 5:28 of the game.

Bridgewater shot just 30.0 percent (15-50) from the floor in the game, but outscored the Generals (0-6, 0-1) 29-6 at the foul line.

W&L was led by sophomore forward Greg Bienemann (Chatham, N.J./Chatham), who scored a game-high 18 points and grabbed five rebounds. Junior guard Chris Halkitis (New Port Richey, Fla./Ridgewood) added 13 points.

Bridgewater was paced by forward Clay Michael's 16 points and nine rebounds. Guards Josh Maupin and Jay Strotman chipped in with 10 points each.
