ASHLAND, Va. - The women's basketball team dropped its sixth straight game Tuesday night, losing 79-60 to Randolph Macon College before 175 fans at Crenshaw Gymnasium in Ashland. Shenandoah (8-14) found itself behind 46-29 at the half despite a career high 17 points from junior Roseline Fisher (Greencastle, Pa./Hagerstown CC) and was unable to cut the deficit below 15 at any point in the final 20 minutes of play.

The win comes in the first meeting between the two schools since Macon (12-10) took a 91-74 victory in the first round of the NCAA Tournament on February 28, 1996.

Junior Wendy Legge (Stephens City, Va./Sherando) was the only other SU player in double figures besides Fisher, who did not score in the second half. Legge finished with 12.

Meredith Roberts had 19, Allison King 14, Cristin Ethridge 12 and Rachel Kifer 10 for the Yellow Jackets. R-MC has now won three straight over the Hornets.
