GREENSBORO, N.C. – Host Guilford College maintained its place atop the ODAC women's basketball standings with a 63-41 win over Shenandoah Saturday afternoon.

League-leading Guilford (11-3, 5-1 ODAC) held SU (6-9, 2-4) to 25 percent shooting on its way to the 22-point victory in the first-ever women's basketball meeting between the two schools.

With the score tied at 20-20 with 7:25 to play in the first half, the Quakers pulled away with an 11-2 run to complete the first half.

GC extended this run with the initial 11 points of the second, taking a 42-22 lead with 15:56 to play.

Junior Crystal Petrus, who led all scorers with a career-high 18 points, finally snapped the scoreless drought for coach C.K. Calhoun's club with a 3-pointer at the 15:04 mark.

The 3-ball was one of a game- and career-high six for Petrus. She finished the game with 18 points on 6 of 13 shooting.

Unfortunately for the Hornets, Guilford answered Petrus' with a jumper of its own and maintained at least a 14-point lead the rest of the way.

GC shot 43 percent (26 of 61) for the game and outrebounded SU 44-38. The Quakers also had three women in double figures, led by Jaclyn Nucci's 12.

Shenandoah returns to home to host Bridgewater on Wednesday night at 7:00.
