Schleusner Surpasses 2,000 Career Points in Daytona Beach Shootout Finale

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. - The No. 8/7 Washington and Lee University women's basketball team defeated No. 14/21 Carroll University (Wis.) 76-66 to conclude the Daytona Beach Shootout while senior Mary Schleusner became the first player in program history to surpass 2,000 career points.

HOW IT HAPPENED

Zou Raine provided the games first point with a layup before knocking down a foul shot to put the Generals (10-0) up 3-0. Both teams traded buckets throughout the quarter with Carroll (8-3) taking a four point lead with three minutes to go. Sarah Zimmerman gave the Generals a 16-15 lead after finishing off a three-point play before Natalie Gricius knocked down a three to give the Pioneers a 18-16 lead. Just like the first quarter, both teams couldn't gain much of a lead until a Sam Collins three-pointer put the Generals up 29-24 with two minutes to play in the half. Mary Schleusner knocked down a jumper to extend the Blue and White's lead to six before back-to-back three-pointers from the Pioneers sent the game to halftime tied at 33.
Both teams were neck and neck to start the third quarter with both teams unable to manage more than a three-point lead. However, a layup from Schlesuner and a pair of free throws from S. Zimmerman put the Generals in front by four. Collins sent the Blue and White into the final quarter of play with a 53-48 lead after knocking down another three-pointer. Quinn McGuinness kicked off a 7-2 run for the Blue and White with a layup which also featured a three-pointer and two free throws from Zou Raine to put the Generals up by nine. Collins and Megan Zimmerman both knocked down shots from beyond the arc while Schleusner added a pair of layups to give the Blue and White a 17-point lead, their largest lead of the game, before coasting to a 76-66 win over the Pioneers.
