W&L women's basketball team grapples with losing streak

By Brett Strohsacker and Lanier Brooks With five games
left, members of the Washington and Lee women’s basketball team unite in
order to create a force that will result in its first winning season in
seven years. After losing the past four out of five games, the team has been placed
in the bottom half of the Old Dominion Athletic Conference (ODAC). However, Captain Bethany Dannelly is convinced that generals can take
control in the next five games if they "play consistent and make every
possession count." The team suffered a loss when lead scorer Kristen Krouchick was
injured during the Emory and Henry game. Despite Krouchick being benched
the last three games, the team remains hopeful and responds with strength. "I think that the fact we played as well as we did Saturday without
Kristen," said Krouchick, "really says something about the freshman
stepping up and coming in and playing well." The generals are driven to gain three wins which will tie the team
record for wins in a season. Coach Terri Dadio Campbell is hopeful of a positive outcome. "If we take it one practice at a time and one game at a time,
everything else will fall into place," she said. "My team is at a point
where they know there is going to be a breakthrough."
