PC OUTLASTS WINGATE 90-76 IN SAC WOMEN’S BASKETBALL ACTION
WINGATE,
N.C.
— The Presbyterian College women’s basketball team used a
10-0 run late in the second half to pull away from Wingate
University en route to a 90-76 South Atlantic Conference victory
Wednesday night. The game took place in Cuddy Arena on the
campus of Wingate University.
The Bulldogs (15-6 overall, 5-4 SAC) will try and rebound
this Saturday when they travel to Newberry for a 2 p.m. contest.
The Blue Hose (10-11 overall, 5-4 SAC) host Carson-Newman
College Saturday afternoon in a 2 p.m. battle.
The Bulldogs led by as much as ten early in the first half
thanks in part to the strong play of junior guard Samantha Dailey (Huntington, W.Va.). Dailey scored 15 of her
career-high 28 points in the first period. However, the Blue
Hose battled back and trimmed the Wingate lead to 38-36 heading
into the locker room.
Both teams traded baskets for most of the second half. Then
with just over eight minutes remaining Presbyterian put together
a 10-0 run and never looked back. The Blue Hose were led by
junior guard Billie Haskins (Greensboro, Ga.) who scored 25 points to go along with
six steals and six rebounds. Freshman forward Cameron
Cook (Greensboro, N.C.) provided a spark off the bench
for Presbyterian, scoring a career-high 23 points and pulling
down seven boards. Redshirt sophomore center Lauren
Yanik (Greer, S.C.) added 15 points and six rebounds
while junior point guard Bonnie Werner (Kennesaw, Ga.) rounded out the double figure scorers for PC with
13 points and six assists.
Senior forward Jessica Guarneri (Piscataway, N.J.) had a strong game in the post for the Bulldogs. Guarneri scored 28 points and grabbed eight rebounds before fouling out with 3:48 left in the contest. Freshman center Veronica Taylor (Columbia, S.C.) recorded another double double with 11 points and 11 rebounds.
