The Washington and Lee University men's golf team celebrated a significant achievement this week, as junior Jonathan McEwen captured his second consecutive Old Dominion Athletic Conference (ODAC) individual title. Competing at the ODAC Championship held at Poplar Grove Golf Club, the Generals finished as the league's runner-up for the second straight season, posting a total score of 59-over par (304-313-306 – 923). Guilford College claimed the championship with a score of 40-over par. Despite the team’s second-place finish, McEwen's individual performance stood out, as he led the tournament after the first round and maintained a strong presence throughout, finishing atop the individual leaderboard.
In women's lacrosse, the sixth-ranked Generals faced a challenging match against No. 9 Denison, ultimately falling 15-11. Washington and Lee started strong, taking an 8-5 lead into halftime, but Denison responded with a decisive 5-0 run that shifted the momentum in the second half. Despite efforts from Lara Baki and Sophie Edwards, who each contributed multiple goals, the Generals could not reclaim the lead, ending their non-conference matchup with a record of 13-3.
Meanwhile, the Washington and Lee baseball team concluded its ODAC season with a loss to No. 10 Bridgewater College, falling 13-3 in a seven-inning game. The Generals struggled to contain the Eagles, who exploded for eight runs in the third inning. Jackson Rogish provided some offense for Washington and Lee, scoring in the fourth inning, but it was not enough to overcome the early deficit.
Additionally, Washington and Lee student-athletes were recognized for their academic achievements during the winter term honor society inductions. Several athletes were inducted into Phi Beta Kappa and Omicron Delta Kappa, highlighting their commitment to scholarship and leadership alongside their athletic pursuits.
