the half. The Generals ended the opening stanza shooting
7-of-25 (.280) from the floor as Guilford (16-5, 13-3) posted a
31-18 lead at the break.
W&L's cold shooting persisted at the beginning of the second
half as the Generals hit just one of their first four shots and the
Quakers used a 9-2 spurt to take a 40-20 lead at the 16:10
mark.
Consecutive three-pointers from senior guard Meg Ingram (Greensboro,
N.C./Ragsdale) over the next 1:04 sparked a 20-8 run that brought
W&L to within 48-40 with 8:49 to play, but an 8-0 Quaker run
over the next 4:05 pushed the GC lead back to 16 points (56-40)
with 4:44 remaining. The Generals would get no closer than 15
points the rest of the way as Guilford claimed the season
sweep.
