SALEM, Va. – Senior guard Isaiah Goodman (Richfield, Minn./Holy Angels) scored a career-high 24 points in leading the eighth-seeded Washington and Lee men's basketball team to an upset of top-seeded and 19th-ranked Guilford, 82-76 in double-overtime, in the quarterfinals of the ODAC Tournament at the Salem Civic Center on Friday afternoon.

W&L's upset of the top-seed marks just the second time that a No. 8 seed has defeated the No. 1 seed in the ODAC Tournament. Lynchburg accomplished the feat in 2002 when it defeated No.1 Randolph-Macon, 52-50. It also marked just the second double-overtime game in ODAC quarterfinal history, with the other having been played in 1996.

Washington and Lee held a slim 30-28 lead at half despite shooting just 36.7 percent (11-30) and being outrebounded, 23-15, in the opening half. The Generals (15-12) forced the Quakers (21-5) into 12 first-half turnovers, and connected on five three-pointers in the opening period in holding a two-point edge at the break.

The Generals held a slight lead for much of the second period and following a free throw from senior guard Chris McHugh (Chatham, N.J./Chatham) to put W&L up 61-55 with 1:42 remaining, the Quakers ran off seven-straight points to take a 62-61 lead on a free throw from junior guard Rhett Bonner (Yadkinville, N.C./N. Forsyth) with 20 seconds remaining.

Junior forward Zac White (Baltimore, Md./Park School) was fouled with six seconds showing on the clock and tied the game at 62-62 by splitting a pair of free throws to force overtime.

In the first overtime period, Goodman gave W&L a 69-66 lead on a three-pointer with 34 seconds left. Bonner converted a layup for the Quakers on the next possession to cut it to a one-point General lead with 13 seconds left, but W&L senior forward Ben Heller (Houston, Texas/Lamar) split a pair of free-throws with 12 seconds left to put W&L up 70-68. Guilford senior forward George Neville (Westminster, Md./Winters Mill) tied the game at 70-70 and forced second overtime when he hit a lay-up with five seconds remaining.

Bonner opened the overtime period with a layup to give the Quakers a 72-70 lead at the 4:15 mark, but McHugh hit his fifth three-pointer on the ensuing possession to put the Generals up for good, 73-72, at the 3:57 mark. Washington and Lee closed out the game connecting on 5-of-6 free throws down the stretch.

McHugh scored 18 points for the Generals on 5-of-11 shooting from three-point territory. It was the third-straight ODAC Tournament game that McHugh as hit five triples. Heller added 14 points and seven rebounds, while White scored eight points, grabbed five boards and blocked four shots. In addition to his career-high point total, Goodman recorded a career-high five steals.

Bonner led Guilford with a game-high 28 points, including 10-of-11 at the charity stripe. Neville added 16 points and 12 rebounds, junior center Tyler Sanborn (Mt. Airy, N.C./Elkin) added 11 points and 21 rebounds. Junior guard Clay Henson (Glen Alpine, N.C./Freedom) chipped in 14 points.

W&L returns to action in the ODAC semifinals on Saturday as it takes on fourth-seeded Bridgewater at 6:00 pm in Salem, Va.
