LEXINGTON, Va. - The No. 5 Washington and Lee University women's basketball team secured their 21st straight victory of the season as they defeated the University of Lynchburg, 67-33, on Saturday afternoon in the Hill City.

HOW IT HAPPENED

A three-pointer from Kayla Terry gave Lynchburg (11-10, 4-8 ODAC) a 5-3 lead early in the opening quarter, but a jumper from Mary Schleusner sparked a 10-0 run for the Generals (21-0, 12-0 ODAC), giving the Blue and White an eight-point advantage heading into the second quarter.
W&L extended its lead to 12 in the second quarter behind baskets from Schleusner and Quinn McGuinness before an Ashley Vandergrift three-pointer trimmed the margin back to single digits. After an Icy Keneah basket pushed the lead back to 11, Kate Littlejohn knocked down a pair of free throws in the final minute to send the Generals into halftime with a 23-14 lead.
Sarah Zimmerman opened the third quarter with back-to-back buckets to extend the advantage to 13 before Audra Petty answered with a layup for Lynchburg. The Generals then erupted for a 15-2 run to take a 24-point lead into the fourth quarter, with points coming from Keneah, Zimmerman, Sam Collins, Caroline Shimp, Zou Raine, and Riley Bryant.
McGuinness, Schleusner, and Zimmerman each added layups early in the fourth quarter to propel W&L to a 50-23 lead.
