Richmond Woman Basketball Player Passes Men’s Mark for Consecutive Free Throws

Ginny Doyle, who holds two women’s records, extended her consecutive free-throw streak past the men’s record Saturday when she made her 65th in a row.

She was two for two at the foul line in helping Richmond beat William & Mary, 74-55. The Division I men’s record of 64 consecutive free throws was set by Joe Dykstra of Western Illinois in 1981-82.

Doyle, a 5-foot-11 senior, scored 22 points. Doyle has made 59 free throws in a row this season and 65 dating to the 1990-91 season, both NCAA women’s records in Division I basketball.
