College Women’s Basketball Final – Guilford 62, Emory & Henry 45

EMORY, Va. – Gabby Oglesby (Winston-Salem, N.C./Mt. Tabor) totaled 13 points and eight rebounds in Guilford College’s 62-45 Old Dominion Athletic Conference (ODAC) basketball win at Emory & Henry College Tuesday night.

Oglesby, a sophomore forward, paced three Quakers (3-2, 2-0 ODAC) in double-figure scoring and helped Guilford to its third straight victory. She contributed three blocks and a steal to a defensive effort that forced 25 turnovers and held the Wasps (1-2, 0-2 ODAC) 31.7 percent field-goal shooting. The Quakers converted the miscues into 23 points.

A tightly contested first half saw seven ties before Guilford reeled off 10 straight points on the way to a 31-24 halftime lead. The teams traded baskets for the first 10 minutes of the second half before a 13-4 Quakers’ spurt opened a 56-38 edge with 6:23 left in regulation. Alex Payne (High Point, N.C./North Davidson) knocked down a pair of three-pointers and Brittany Drew (Greensboro, N.C./Page) added another trifecta during the run.

Guilford’s Jazlyn Gibbs (Greensboro, N.C./Southeast Guilford (USC-Aiken)) chipped in 12 points and three steals. Teammate Jaclyn Nucci added 10 points, seven boards and three steals.

Emory & Henry’s Ashlyn Baird’s led all scorers with 16 points. Teammate Jalan McPherson knocked down three three-pointers on the way to 15 points. Morgan Grant grabbed a game-high 11 rebounds in 15 minutes off the bench.

The Quakers host Salem College Wednesday (11/30) in a 7:00 p.m. nonconference game.
