WINCHESTER, Va. – The Shenandoah University women's basketball team ran its winning streak to seven games Saturday with a 52-47 overtime victory over Guilford College.
Â
Shenandoah (14-4, 9-4 ODAC) kept itself in the hunt for a top four seed at the upcoming ODAC Tournament with the OT victory over the Quakers (6-12, 4-9).
Â
IN BRIEF
Olivia Weinel, one of six women recognized prior to the Senior Day contest, put the Hornets on top to stay with a pair of free throws with 91 seconds remaining.
Â
A
Terese Greene jumper at 39 seconds and one of two at the line from
