Full Winter Slate in Action
SALEM, Va. --- The full winter slate of ODAC
athletics was in action over the past week for the first time since
early December. Track joined the fray with multiple meets for
both the men and women. Swimming featured several ODAC squads
in action. And men's and women's basketball enjoyed
standings-separating matchups and a couple of Top-25 showdowns.
In men's basketball, Dominic Trawick led Bridgewater College to a
pair of ODAC wins. He notched 29 points in each of outing,
adding 12 rebounds to his efforts against Roanoke College. He
nailed eight three-pointers to help improve his season scoring
average to 20.6 points per game, second in the ODAC.
Women's hoops saw Washington and Lee University pick up two
conference wins in three contests. Becca Bolton starred for
the Generals with a trio of double-doubles. She finished the
week with a 20-point 18-rebound day in a victory over
Bridgewater. She averaged 15.7 points and 15.0 boards for the
week, improving her season rebounding clip to 10.8 per game.
Randolph-Macon College's Sarah Almond was one of several strong
ODAC swimmers in various pools. The sophomore won three
events in R-MC's 155-100 win over Bridgewater, stopping the watches
first in the 50-yard and 100-yard freestyle events, as well as the
100-yard backstroke.
Lynchburg College's Dan Reid made it two Hornet throwers in as many
men's indoor track weekly awards as the senior shined at the
Maryland Terrapin Indoor Invitational. Reid posted the best
marks of any NCAA Division III athlete in the shot put and weight
throw, provisionally qualifying for the NCAA Division III National
Championships in the latter discipline.
In women's track, Roanoke rookie Carmen Graves applied her speed
and athletic ability from the soccer pitch to the indoor surface
with wins in the triple jump and 400-meter dash at the Marietta
College Open 1. She also placed third in the 200-meter
dash.
