ASHLAND, Va. - Sophomore Becca Arrington (Amelia, Va./Amelia Academy) poured in 15 points, one away from her season high as the Randolph-Macon women's basketball team dropped a 57-41 ODAC decision to first-place Guilford on Saturday afternoon in Crenshaw Gym.

How It Happened

• The Quakers scored the first four points of the game before freshman Aimee DeBell (Studley, Va./Saint Gertrude) made a layup to put the Yellow Jackets on the board. GC scored six straight points before a three-pointer at the buzzer by sophomore Elise Knobloch (Glenville, Pa./Delone Catholic) made it 12-5 after one period.
• GC pushed its lead to 14 before a bucket by DeBell made it 24-12 with 2:40 left in the second quarter. The Quakers would have the final two baskets of the period and take a 28-12 lead at intermission. DeBell had seven points and seven rebounds in the first half for the Yellow Jackets.
• DeBell and Knobloch each hit a pair of free throws early, and a layup by senior Kelsey Wisner (York, Pa./Central York) made it 33-18 with 6:20 left in the third quarter. The Quakers scored seven straight points to push their lead to 40-18. A pair of three-pointers by Arrington highlighted an 11-4 spurt as R-MC narrowed the gap to 44-29 after three periods.
• Senior Jayla Wade (Newport News, Va./Heritage) hit three free throws as the Yellow Jackets made it 49-33 with 7:25 left in the final quarter. Arrington had a pair of treys and a layup in a personal 8-0 run to make it 57-41 with one minute remaining, and that would be the final score.
