Schleusner had a dominating performance to help the No. 22 Generals turn a 10-point, third-quarter deficit into a 75-62 win over Lynchburg on Wednesday night. She shot 15-of-21 (.714) from the field to score a game-high 36 points, while adding 16 rebounds, five steals, and three blocks.

Tyree Mitchell
Mitchell helped power USJ to a 2-0 week and back to the top of the GNAC standings, averaging 34 points, eight rebounds, and two assists over a pair of GNAC contests. Mitchell was extremely efficient shooting the ball, connecting on 22-of-33 (67%) attempts from the field, including 8-of-13 (62%) from beyond the arc, and also converted 16-of-19 (84%) attempts from the free-throw line. He opened the week scoring a career-high 42 points (13-19 FG, 5-8 3FG, 11-13 FT), including his 1,000th career point, and grabbed six rebounds in a 108-77 victory on the road at Dean, then followed that up by dropping a game-high 26 points (9-14 FG, 3-5 3FG, 5-6 FT) and grabbing nine boards in a 100-86 triumph at home versus intrastate and conference rival Albertus Magnus in a battle of GNAC undefeateds on Saturday.

He also finished with a team-high 16 points, going 3 of 4 on threes, during a 76-65 triumph over visiting Wesleyan on Saturday.
