GREENSBORO, N.C. --- Sophomore Anais
Weatherly totaled 15 points, 11 rebounds and five steals,
all game highs, in Guilford College's 74-28 Old Dominion Athletic
Conference (ODAC) Tournament victory over visiting Hollins
University Tuesday night.
Weatherly sparked the fifth-seeded Quakers (17-9) to their ninth
win in 11 games and a berth in the tournament quarterfinals against
fourth-seeded Virginia Wesleyan College. Hollins ends its season
with a 3-22 record.
The Quakers set the tone early with tight defense and a relentless
rebounding effort, which yielded a 17-4 lead seven and a half
minutes into the game. Guilford's reserves continued to stretch the
lead throughout the half, which ended with a 35-14 Quakers' edge.
Guilford dressed 10 of its 13 students for the game, all of whom
scored by halftime. Hollins managed just four first-half field
goals and was outrebounded, 27-7, in the opening frame.
Weatherly, the reigning ODAC Women's Basketball Player of the Week,
registered her team-leading 10th double-double of
the season. Teammate Lauren
Ramsey contributed 13 points and seven rebounds. Jordyn
Brown came off the bench late in the first half and
compiled 12 points, four boards and two blocks in 16
minutes. Jennette
Taylor tallied four points, six rebounds, a game-high, six
assists and three steals.
Jewellanna Parfitt's eight points led Hollins, which was
outrebounded 50-26 and turned the ball over 24 times.
Coach Stephanie Flamini's club meets Virginia Wesleyan Friday
(2/27) at 3:00 p.m. in the Salem (Va.) Civic Center. The Quakers
have reached the ODAC Tournament final in each of the last three
seasons with wins in 2012 and 2013.
