BUENA VISTA, Va. -- The Washington and Lee women's basketball team upped its winning streak to four games with a 66-62 victory at Southern Virginia on Thursday evening.

The Knights (6-11) led 29-27 at halftime, but the Generals began the second stanza on a 10-4 run to assume a 37-33 lead with 13:47 remaining. The two teams battled back and forth until W&L began to take control with a 12-4 run that gave it a 61-53 advantage with 2:15 left in the contest.

The Knights cut it to a 64-62 game on a three-pointer with 47 seconds left and had a chance to tie the game in the final seconds, but a layup would not fall and senior center Jessica Hunsinger (Mayer, Ariz./Orme School) was fouled after grabbing the rebound with 2.8 seconds left. Hunsinger sank both free throws to seal the Generals' sixth victory in their last seven games.

W&L (9-8), which shot 17-of-20 (.850) from the free throw line in the second half and 21-of-26 (.808) for the game, was paced by junior forward Amanda Kane's (Fairfax Station, Va./Robinson) season-high 13 points on 3-of-5 shooting from three-point range. Hunsinger amassed 12 points, 13 rebounds and three blocks, while sophomore guard Bethany Ridenhour (Westwood, N.J./Holy Angels) posted 12 points and three assists. Junior forward Kristen Krouchick (Holland, Pa./Nazareth Academy) chipped in 11 points and six rebounds.

Junior guard Lynette Adams led Southern Virginia with a game-high 18 points. Junior forward Kendra Romito posted 16 points, while freshman guard Tricia Dixon notched 10 points and seven boards.

The Generals will return to action on Tuesday as they travel to Emory & Henry for a 7:00 pm contest.
