GENERALS GO TWO FOR THREE IN BUSY ODAC WEEK
Last week, W&L went 2-1 with victories at Lynchburg and at home against
Hollins, before falling at defending ODAC regular season champion
Randolph-Macon on Saturday. At Lynchburg, the Generals went on a 16-2
run in the final four minutes of the game to break open a two-point game
and won. 78-62. Against Hollins, the Genereals were down by three early
in the second half, but went on a 39-11 run and pulled out a 76-59 win.
The magic ended at Randolph-Macon. The Generals cut a 13-point Yellow
Jacket first half lead to three and were down only five at halftime.
However injuries to junior guard Ansley Miller and freshman guard Carter
Thomas sidelined two of W&L's floor leaders for the remainder of the game
and the Yellow Jackets ran away with a 90-62 victory.
IT DOESNUT GET ANY EASIER
The Generals will continue their grueling conference schedule with games
at Bridgewater on Tuesday night and at Guilford on Saturday afternoon.

eight straight games since Dec. 5 and have not allowed any opponents
closer than seven points in that stretch. BC is led by Connie Ritchie,
who is averaging 14 points per game. Guilford currently sports a 5-7
record and is 4-4 in the ODAC. The Quakers are on three-game winning
streak and is led by Kerrie Campbell, who is averaging 11.7 points per
