Men's Basketball Defeated by Generals in ODAC Battle

WINCHESTER, Va. - The Shenandoah University men's basketball team was defeated, 71-63, at home Wednesday night in an ODAC battle against Washington and Lee University.

The Hornets (15-6, 6-6 ODAC) went on an 11-0 run in the second half but a 16-point deficit at the half was too much to come back from as the Generals (13-7, 7-4) held on for the win.

RECAP

The two teams struggled to find the basket early as W&L only had a 4-2 lead four minutes into the game. Nic Pullum hit a jumper for the Hornets' first basket following a defensive board from Joseph Baldwin.

The Generals went down and hit a three but Evan Makle responded right away, burying a triple of his own. Two more W&L threes helped the visitors take a 15-7 lead. W&L maintained a single-digit lead before pulling ahead by 16 at the break.

The ODAC foes traded baskets early in the second half but the Generals still pulled ahead and had a 19-point lead with 14:30 remaining. 

Trailing 53-34, SU started its 11-0 run to pull within 10. Jaylen Williams started the run with a three before Joshua Stephen hit a fastbreak jumper. Another Williams three was sandwiched between points from Pullum and Stephen to cap off the run.

With 7:15 remaining, a pair of Williams free throws cut the Generals' deficit to five. With 91 ticks left in the game, the Hornets trailed by five once again but a Generals three put the game away.

Williams led the team with 19 points and Pullum and Stephen were second with 13 each. Davion Roberts had a team-high seven boards.
