The Lead: For the final time during the 2024-25 season, the Hollins basketball team took the court when they made the trip to Greensboro to face Guilford on the final day of Old Dominion Athletic Conference (ODAC) play. Hollins got a much better start than they did 17 days ago against the Quakers and took a 14-8 lead into the second quarter. The Quakers caught fire and stormed back to take the lead into the half. HU could not mount a rally and fell to Guilford for the second time this season, 47-79.

Highlights 

• Back-to-back three-pointers by Zaria Holden and Ariana Gutierrez gave Hollins an early 6-2 advantage. Leading by two, Cabria Mutz and Sarah Morales closed the quarter with buckets to make it 14-8 after one period of play.
• An 8-2 surge by the home team would tie the score at 16-16. The teams would trade the lead with a 3-pointer by Missy Hazard and free throws by Holden giving Hollins a 23-22 edge. However, Guilford closed the final 2:30 on a 10-0 run to take a nine-point lead into the break.
• A 14-0 surge by the Quakers coming out of the locker room would be too much for HU to overcome. Grayson Alfon hit a jumper from long range to stop the run, but Guilford had built a 20-point advantage.
• Kinzie Henninger capped a 9-4 Hollins run mid-way through the fourth quarter, but Hollins couldn't get any closer and fell to 12-12 on the season.

• Mutz finished the season with 81 blocked shots, the 2^nd most in NCAA DIII and tops in the ODAC.
