GREENSBORO, N.C. -- Gabby Oglesby scored 16 points to lead Guilford College past William Peace University Wednesday night, 55-45, in a nonconference women's basketball game.
The Quakers (6-2) trailed, 9-1, after the first five minutes of play, but recovered and gained their first lead with 4:51 left in the half thanks in part to rookie Lila Scott's eight points off the bench.

The Pacers (2-5) answered with a 7-0 run to start the second-half. Two Kayla Adams three-pointers brought Guilford within one. The teams traded the lead until Jaclyn Nucci scored the Quakers' go-ahead basket with 4:20 left on the clock.
