Schleusner Breaks Division III Career Rebounding Record in 63-57 Win over Bridgewater

LEXINGTON, Va. - Senior Mary Schleusner of the Washington and Lee University women's basketball team highlighted a 63-57 win over Bridgewater College on Wednesday evening as she broke the NCAA Divison III career rebounding record.

HOW IT HAPPENED

Both teams traded points to open the game, with the Generals (16-0, 7-0 ODAC) holding a three-point edge before Jay Garcia knocked down a three-pointer to tie the game at five. The Blue and White then surged to a 20-7 advantage behind a 14-2 run that featured baskets from seven different players, highlighted by the lone three-pointer of the stretch from Elka Prechel. The Eagles (13-3, 6-1 ODAC) trimmed the deficit to nine before Icy Keneah converted a free throw to send the Generals into the second quarter with a 10-point lead.
The opening three minutes of the second quarter passed without a basket before a Riley Bryant steal led to a layup from Sam Collins. Bridgewater gradually chipped away at the margin, as a Jaiden Polston jumper made it a six-point game with 3:19 remaining in the half. W&L closed the period on a 7-4 run to carry a 36-26 lead into the break.
Out of halftime, the Eagles opened with two quick baskets—a Riley Corcoran layup and an Autumn Gentry three-pointer—to cut the Generals' lead to five. Bridgewater continued to push, narrowing the margin to two after a pair of free throws from Jay Garcia. Sam Collins halted the momentum with a three-pointer to restore a five-point cushion, and back-to-back jumpers from Mary Schleusner and Collins sent the Generals into the final quarter with a 51-43 lead.
W&L pushed the lead to 12 early in the fourth quarter behind a pair of free throws from Zou Raine and a jumper from Schleusner. The Eagles rallied to within four with 3:49 remaining, but Schleusner answered with three straight baskets to extend the advantage back to 10. Bridgewater scored the final four points of the contest, but the Generals held on for a 63-57 victory.
