Frazier dent the twine four times and Liza Mettler made 13 of her career-high 20 saves in the first half, which staked Guilford to a 7-4 halftime lead. Frazier’s fifth goal opened the second-half scoring. Teammate Kathryn Carella followed with her second score for a 9-4 Quakers’ edge.
Randolph-Macon reeled off three straight goals and drew to within 9-7 with 22:15 remaining. Guilford regained its composure and scored five of the next seven tallies, including three straight by Garcia.
Garcia added an assist and finished with five points in the game. Carella, Eleanora Keene and Julia Fraser each scored twice.
Emily Lynch led all goal scorers with six and goalie Nicole Woodworth made 10 stops in goal for the Yellow Jackets (8-7, 4-4 ODAC).
