WINCHESTER, Va. — Senior forward William Brueggeman (Houston, Texas/Strake Jesuit College Prep) broke the Washington and Lee men's basketball single-game record for made three-pointers with eight in leading the Generals to a 93-87 victory at Shenandoah on Friday.
 
With 8:16 left in the contest, W&L (3-1, 3-1 ODAC) trailed, 74-67, which marked its largest deficit of the night. A layup by senior forward Curtis Mitchell (Chevy Chase, Md./Georgetown Prep) trimmed the lead to five (74-69), and then Brueggeman's seventh three-pointer of the game pulled the Blue and White to within two, 74-72, with 6:47 on the clock.
 
The Hornets (0-6, 0-6 ODAC) answered with a bucket by junior guard Anthony Trammell to stretch the lead back to four, but a jumper by sophomore guard Richie Manigault (Stewartsville, N.J./Phillipsburg) brought the Generals to within two (76-74) with 5:58 left in the contest.
 
With four minutes on the clock, Shenandoah led by three (79-76), but then sophomore guard Jack Lewis (Rockville, Md./Sidwell Friends) was fouled and sent to the line. He made his first, but missed the second. First-year forward Jack d'Entremont (Bryn Mawr, Pa./Radnor) tipped in the miss to tie the game, 79-79.
 
A pair of free throws by first-year guard Matthew Anderson put the Hornets back up two (81-79), but a three-pointer by Manigault off an assist from Brueggeman gave W&L an 82-81 lead with 3:18 left in the game. After a stop on defense, Breuggeman set the program's single-game record for triples with his eighth of the contest in front of his own bench to stretch the Blue and White lead to 85-81 with 2:54 on the clock.
 
Shenandoah converted two-pointers on each of its next two trips, sandwiched around a jumper by d'Entremont, as the Generals held an 87-85 margin with 1:48 left in the game. Junior guard Mark Lamendola (Pittsburgh, Pa./Mount Lebanon) was then fouled with 57 seconds remaining, splitting a pair of free throws to extend the lead to three (88-85).
 
After another W&L stop, Shenandoah was forced to play the foul game, and the Blue and White made 5-of-6 from the foul line over the final 30 seconds to hold on for the six-point win.
