Senior center Amanda Renalds scored 21 points to lead Eastern Mennonite University to a 66-53 win over Guilford College in an Old Dominion Athletic Conference women's basketball game on Sunday afternoon in Harrisonburg, Va.

EMU (14-8, 10-7 ODAC) trailed only once at 10-9 with 6:39 expired in the first half. EMU then put together a 15-3 run to take an 11-point lead with 6:02 left in the half. EMU took a 30-23 lead into the break.

Following a Renalds lay-up to open the second half, GC (8-13, 7-9 ODAC) put together a quick 9-2 run to pull within two at 34-32 with 16:11 remaining. However, EMU quickly fired back with a 12-0 run to regain control. It was part of an overall 19-2 run that gave EMU a 53-34 lead with 10:20 to go. GC got no closer than 12 the rest of the way as EMU won 66-53.

Renalds (Bridgewater, Va.) had 21 points and six rebounds to lead EMU. Junior guard Tara Jones (Richmond, Va.) added eight points off the bench.

Senior guard Jennifer King (Reidsville, N.C.) had a game-high 26 points along with three rebounds, and three steals. Freshman forward Kristine Ellis (Greensboro, N.C.) turned in 10 points, nine rebounds, five assists, and three blocks.

The Lady Royals led in rebounds 41-28, shot 44.2% from the floor, hit 3-of-11 three-pointers, and went 17-for-28 (60.7%) from the free throw line. The Quakers shot 38.5% from the floor, hit 3-of-14 from long range, and connected on 10-of-14 (71.4%) of their free throws.
