The loss puts the Tigers (20-5), who were ranked fifth in the NCAA Division III South Region rankings this week, on the bubble for making the NCAA Tournament. The 40-team field will be announced Sunday.
Guilford will play sixth-seeded Emory & Henry in the semifinals today at 4 p.m. Top-seeded Roanoke College will play the Virginia Wesleyan-Bridgewater winner in the other semifinal at noon.
Ferrell, who has started every game of his Quakers career, also had six rebounds and 10 assists. Adam Lamb had a team-high nine rebounds and 15 points.
Guilford (11-13) led 25-24 with 8 minutes, 13 seconds left in the first half before the Tigers went on a 6-0 run to take a five-point lead, their biggest of the game.
Ferrell then took charge, scoring six straight points to give the Quakers back the lead. Guilford, which lost a quadruple-overtime game to the Tigers three weeks ago, led 39-37 at halftime.
The Quakers slowed the game with a zone defense in the second half and broke it open with a 29-8 run. Ferrell scored 10 points and Lamb had seven in the run to put Guilford up 81-67.
"Hampden-Sydney forces you to play very fast," Guilford coach Jack Jensen said. "They run and jump, both full-court and half-court, double-team a lot and force you to do things you don't normally do.
"I felt like we had to take a chance in the second half and force them to shoot from the perimeter. It paid off."
Todd Kerr and Scott Pomeroy scored 15 points each for Hampden-Sydney, which also got 11 points and a team-high eight rebounds from Jason Leonard. Dee Vick and Billy Reid added 10 points each.
The Tigers' Nate Schwab, who had 47 points in the teams' last meeting and was averaging a team-high 18.3 points per game, left the game midway through the second half with an injured left ankle. He had six points and eight rebounds.
\ No. 6 Emory & Henry 64\ No. 3 Randolph-Macon 62
The Wasps got 17 points and 14 rebounds from senior forward Scott Butcher en route to a first-round victory over the Yellow Jackets.
Dan Prescott scored on a layup that put Randolph-Macon (12-13) up 43-33 with 16:28 left. Emory & Henry (12-14) then outscored the Yellow Jackets 13-3 over the next eight minutes to go up 49-48.
E&H, which will play No. 7 Guilford today at 4 p.m., didn't trail again. Randolph-Macon closed to three points with 30 seconds remaining, but junior forward Darren Wheatley made four free throws down the stretch to seal the win.
"The kids hung together and stayed with what we were doing," said E&H coach Bob Johnson. "We came out and did a good job defensively in the second half and made the baskets when we needed to."
Dytanyon Norman, a sophomore from Bassett, had nine points and J.J Simms added five rebounds for the Wasps, who dominated the rebounding, 43-26.
Prescott finished with 27 points, including four 3-pointers, for Randolph-Macon. Sophomore Kurt Axe added 18 points and four rebounds.
