CLINTON,
S.C. — Presbyterian College junior guard Billie Haskins (Greensboro, Ga.) led six Blue Hose in double figures with a

Greenville College Tuesday night.
Haskins hit five-of-six

against the Lady Crusaders. Defensively, the Blue Hose forced 43
turnovers on 22 steals including 23 before halftime.
Presbyterian opened the
game on an 18-4 run keyed by three-pointers from Haskins and
backcourt teammate, junior guard Bonnie Werner
(Kennesaw, Ga.). North Greenville would cut the lead to
eight points (36-28) at the 4:49 mark, but would not get any
closer. The Blue Hose finished the half on a 21-2 run to take a
commanding 57-30 lead into halftime. PC shot 56.7% from the
