LEXINGTON, Va. -- Junior forward Kristen Krouchick (Holland, Pa./Nazareth Academy) recorded 22 points and 10 rebounds as the Washington and Lee women's basketball defeated a ranked opponent for the first time in program history with a 65-60 win over No. 24 Bridgewater on Saturday afternoon in Lexington, Va.

The first half of the contest was back-and-forth and featured six ties. The Eagles (12-3, 9-2) led by as many as four points several times, but the Generals (7-8, 4-7) took a 29-28 advantage into halftime.

The game remained tight and was tied three times in the final eight minutes, but junior guard Emily Wolff's (Allison Park, Pa./Hampton) layup at 1:33 gave W&L the lead for good (61-60) and the Generals connected on 4-of-6 from the free throw line to earn the five-point victory.

Krouchick's double-double paced the Blue and White, while senior center Jessica Hunsinger (Mayer, Ariz./Orme School) notched eight points, a game-high 17 rebounds and four blocks.
