WINCHESTER, Va. – Visiting Bridgewater College rallied for a 60-53 ODAC women's basketball victory over Shenandoah Saturday afternoon at the James R. Wilkins, Jr. Athletics & Events Center.
 
Shenandoah (13-8, 8-6 ODAC) led by six, 44-38, as the fourth quarter dawned, but could not hold off Bridgewater (15-5, 10-4) over the final 10 minutes.
 
IN BRIEF
The Eagles opened the fourth with an 8-0 run to take a lead they would not relinquish.
 
The Hornets, who struggled to a 12-of-22 performance from the line (55 percent), saw Terese Greene make 1 of 2 at 6:20 to break the scoreless streak and make it 46-45, but the damage was done.
 
After Bridgewater used a jumper and a 1 of 2 performance of its own at the line to extend its lead to four, 49-45, with 5:16 remaining sophomore Gabby Krystofiak brought the Alumnae Day crowd to their collective feet with a '3' at 4:08 that cut the SU deficit to one, 49-48.
 
Unfortunately, this would prove to be the hosts' high-water mark. BC made 7 of its final 8 from the line, including six straight to start, down the stretch and added three defensive rebounds to prevent the Hornets from staging a comeback of their own.
 
Greene led all scorers with 24 points with Shawnise Campbell adding 11 points and 13 rebounds.
 
The Hornets shot 35 percent (19 of 54) to 32 percent for Bridgewater (19 of 54) and had a 41-37 edge on the glass.
 
Bridgewater also scored 16 points off of 20 Shenandoah turnovers.
