ASHLAND, VA – The Lynchburg College women's basketball team hung close into the second half, but Randolph-Macon College pulled away for an 83-55 victory Tuesday night over Lynchburg College in Old Dominion Athletic Conference (ODAC) play.

Senior Katie Crump drilled all three of her three-point attempts and finished with 13 points and six boards. Carly Greenlief posted six points, six rebounds, four assists and three steals and Katie Reeves also had six points and six rebounds.
