HARRISONBURG, VA-The Roanoke College women's basketball team had its two-game winning streak snapped with a 60-48 home loss to Guilford College on Wednesday afternoon in Salem, VA.

Guilford would never trail again in the game and allowed the Maroons to tie the score just once. Guilford's lead got up to as many as seven points in the first half, but Roanoke's Brittany Johnson (Simsbury, CT/Simsbury) made the final basket of the half to cut the lead to five.

Again, McCory put the Quakers back into the lead, that with another three, that less than a minute following Reynolds' strike. Things slowly got away from the Maroons, as Guilford's lead would eventually get as high as 14 points/ The Maroons turned the ball over 13 more times in the second half and managed just 40 percent from the field.

Guilford was led in the scoring column by Jennie Keichline, who scored 12 of her game-high 15 points in the first half. Keichline also had five rebounds, two blocks, and three steals.
