The Washington and Lee University women's basketball team has concluded a remarkable season, highlighted by senior Mary Schleusner being named the Region 6 Player of the Year by D3hoops.com. Under the guidance of head coach Brittney Kemp, who earned Coach of the Year honors for the region, the Generals posted a program-record 31 wins and advanced to the NCAA Quarterfinals. This season also marked the longest winning streak in program history and the team's third Old Dominion Athletic Conference (ODAC) Championship in four years. Schleusner’s outstanding performance throughout the season, including victories over five nationally ranked opponents, has solidified her status as a key player in the program's history. She will further showcase her skills as she participates in the Women's Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) Division III Collegiate All-Star Game.
Meanwhile, the Washington and Lee swimming and diving teams are set to compete at the NCAA Division III Swimming and Diving Championships from March 18 to 21 at the IU Natatorium in Indianapolis. The Generals qualified multiple entries following strong performances at the ODAC Championships. Senior Maria Jellig will represent the women in the 200 backstroke, where she earned First Team All-ODAC honors with a time of 2:05.32. Additionally, Jellig showcased her versatility with second-place finishes in the 200 individual medley and 100 butterfly, contributing to three ODAC-champion relay teams. On the men’s side, senior Dalton Jobe leads the contingent, competing in the 200 freestyle and 200 individual medley, having set both conference and program records in his events. Washington and Lee's swimmers will look to build on their successful conference performances as they take on the national stage.
