GREENSBORO, N.C. – Anais Weatherly scored a game-high 24 points thanks to a career-best six three-pointers in Guilford College's 67-56 road victory at Greensboro College Wednesday night. Weatherly made all six three-pointers and had 20 points in the first half of a game in which the Quakers (2-0) never trailed.

Weatherly, a junior forward, made her first four threes in the opening four-and-a-half minutes, which sparked Guilford to a 26-15 first-quarter lead. She knocked down a fifth trifecta in the second half before finally missing. With Weatherly bombing away from the top of the key, Guilford's Heaven Walters found space along the baseline and scored 10 of her 14 points in the first half. The Quakers made eight-of-13 first-half three-pointers and took advantage of 14 Greensboro (0-1) turnovers to build a 45-29 halftime lead.

Greensboro outscored Guilford, 11-9, in a largely pedestrian third quarter, but came alive in the final stanza. Behind six of Alexis Hite's team-high 13 points, Greensboro reeled off an 11-1 run midway through the final quarter. The Pride made it a 59-53 game with 3:11 remaining on a Hite jumper, but the Quakers' Lauren Ramsey scored on clutch drives to the basket on consecutive possessions, which restored a nine-point edge with just over two minutes remaining. Greensboro made just one field goal after Hite's final basket and Guilford's Amy Steller sealed the win with four points in the final minute.

Weatherly added 10 rebounds and three steals to her 24 points for her second double-double in as many games. Walters finished with a career-high 14 points and rookie Ymani Breedlove added 11 points and three boards off the bench.

Greensboro's Kamerin Williams totaled 10 points and shared team-high rebounding honors (6) with Hite.
