RACES PAST LAKE SUPERIOR 92-80 IN ORLANDO,
FL - Presbyterian College bounced back from their
opening night loss with an impressive 92-80 win over
Lake Superior State University in their second game of
the 4th Annual Disney Tip-Off Classic Saturday
afternoon. The Blue Hose were paced in the first half by junior wing Toni Leopard (Ninety-Six, SC) and senior wing Tracy Woody (Mauldin, SC) tallied 12 and 11 points respectively. Senior forward Rachel Sloan (Greenville, SC) struggled first half with only six points and had to miss the majority of the half due to foul trouble. PC opened the second half going on a 13-2 run to take a 11-point lead at 57-46 with 11:35 remaining. The Lakers were held without a field goal for the first six minutes of the second half thanks in part to stiff Blue Hose defense. Lake Superior made a run with 5:52 remaining to cut the lead to two points at 68-66. PC responded with a solid free throw shooting down the stretch including going 14-for-16 from the charity stripe in the last 2:33 to ice the game. PC was Leopard who scored a team-high 24 points and added four rebounds while Woody chipped in 23 points and four rebounds. Sloan bounced back from early foul trouble to score 20 points and grab eight rebounds along with three steals. Junior guard Katie Davis (Gainesville, GA) rounded out the double figure scorers for PC with 11 points and added four steals. Sophomore center Heather Parnell (Charlotte, NC) continues to play well off the bench with six points and eight rebounds. LSSU was led by forward Alice Duesing who tallied 38 points on 12-of-13 from the free throw line. Guard Kendra Harris chipped in 13 points and five rebounds before fouling out. PC improves to 1-1 on the season and will play Texas A&M-Kingsville Sunday at 1:00 pm for fifth place. #18 Presbyterian returns to action tomorrow afternoon at 3:30 pm when they will meet Lake Superior State University. |
