LEXINGTON, Va. — Junior guard Cameron Savage tallied a game-high 30 points to lead Lynchburg to an 82-69 victory over the Washington and Lee men's basketball team on Wednesday at Holekamp Gym.
 
The Generals (2-4, 0-1 ODAC) trailed, 51-43, with 16:06 remaining in the second half, but back-to-back three pointers by first-year guard Thomas Feigin (New York, N.Y./Trevor Day School) and senior forward Gus Wise (Winchester, Va./John Handley) trimmed the deficit to two (51-49) with 15 minutes left in the game.
 
The margin was still two, 57-55, with 12:27 on the clock, but a triple by Savage ignited an 11-0 run to extend the Hornets' (4-1, 1-0 ODAC) advantage to 13, 68-55, with 7:52 left in the contest. The Blue and White never trimmed the deficit below nine points the rest of the way as Lynchburg earned the 13-point victory.  
 
The Generals shot 36.9 percent (24-of-65) from the floor, 20.7 percent (6-of-29) from beyond the arc and 78.9 percent (15-of-19) from the foul line. The Hornets were 31-of-74 (41.9 percent) from the field, 6-of-21 (28.6 percent) from long range and 14-of-17 (82.4 percent) from the free throw line.
 
W&L blocked a season-high nine shots led by three from sophomore guard Drew Harrell (Collingswood, N.J./Paul VI). The Blue and White turned the ball over 18 times compared to just six for Lynchburg.
 
Sophomore forward Jack d'Entremont (Bryn Mawr, Pa./Radnor) led the Generals with 17 points and nine rebounds. Sophomore forward Robert DiSibio (Sandy Hook, Conn./Newtown) and Wise each tallied 12 points. Wise also grabbed a career-best 11 rebounds for his first collegiate double-double.
