WILLIAMSBURG, Va. – A school record 18-for-18 performance from the free-throw line helped James Madison women's basketball finish out a 79-64 win at William & Mary (13-6, 3-5 CAA) on Sunday afternoon.

The Dukes (14-6, 7-2 CAA) edged out a free-throw shooting-percentage record that had stood since Feb. 17, 1986 when JMU went 17-for-17 from the charity stripe against Richmond. Seven of those makes came from redshirt senior guard Precious Hall, who finished the day with a game-high 27 points.

Junior guard Hailee Barron had a season-high 14 points on a 4-for-6 performance from beyond the arc. Redshirt junior forward Amber Porter rounded out the Dukes in double figures at 12 points, going 6-for-8 from the floor.

William & Mary finished the contest shooting 48.2 percent (27-56), helped along by three quarters shooting 50 percent or better. The Dukes, however, limited the Tribe to just one 3-pointer on the afternoon, well below their average of 5.1 makes from range.

FREE-THROW PERFECTION
JMU went 18-18 from the free-throw line, the best 100-percent showing in program history. Precious Hall's 7-for-7 led the team, her first perfect performance from the charity stripe of five attempts or more since a 6-for-6 showing against Hofstra on Jan. 7.

GETTING CLOSER
Precious Hall scored in double figures for the 20^th consecutive game and 98^th time in her career. She now has 1,984 career points.
Hall's eight made field goals also pushed her into fourth all-time in JMU history, as she now has 667 makes for her career (261 are made 3-pointers). She surpassed Tarik Hislop's mark of 660.

CALL HER EFFICIENT
Sophomore guard Logan Reynolds dropped in seven points on 3-for-4 shooting over 21 minutes played. She finishes the weekend with 15 points on 6-for-10 shooting, including 3-for-6 from beyond the arc.

UP NEXT
JMU continues its three-game stretch on the road and treks north for the Hofstra-Northeastern swing. The Dukes face the Pride on Friday, Feb. 3 at 7 p.m. in the first of three Play 4Kay games on the JMU docket, then travel to face the Huskies on Sunday, Feb. 5 at 2 p.m.
