Hornet Spotlight:Austin Chillemi

AustinChillemi,acenterfromRichmond,VA,hasimproved tremendously since the beginning of theseasonandisoftenoneofthefirstbigmenoff the bench. Austin has shown to be an adept passer for a post player and does a good job hit-ting the boards. Additionally, he is a strong shot blocker, can score with either hand, and is a good teammate. Against Bridgewater, he tallied four

rebounds and four assists in nine minutes of action. Chillemi posted a strong line of eight points, making 2-4 shots and 4-4 free throws, four rebounds, four blocks, and one steal in 15 minutes on the court against a Methodist. Wednes-day against Eastern Mennonite, he tallied seven points as he made three of his sixfieldgoalattempts.

A KC Mendez layup in overtime gave LC its last lead, 58-57, with 2:19 left. Ben Goetsch made a layup to put W&L up two with 33 seconds left and Jason Cimino made both free throws to put W&L up four to seal the game. Each team had over 20 turnovers as W&L had 29 to 21 for LC.
