Box Score Box ScoreAnna Phillips' jumper with three seconds left off of a
Skylar Chenevert assist proved to be the game wining points in Louisiana College's 50-48 win over Schreiner on Saturday as part of the Southwestern University Thanksgiving Classic in Georgetown, TX.
Â
After Schreiner's Sebriyaah Fennell hit a jumper 1:36 left in regulation, the Lady Wildcats found themselves in a 48-46 hole, as the Mountaineers, a former American Southwest Conference member, threatened to end LC's early season unbeaten streak.
Â
But after senior guard
Neka Jones tied the game up with two free throws with 32 seconds remaining, the Lady Cats were able to come up with a defensive stop, and Chenevert's rebound off of a missed three-pointer from Kelsie Jackson turned into a game-winning basket for Phillips as LC took the win in an exciting first day of the tournament.
Â
The Lady Cats had just one player in double figures in scoring, as senior forward
Kaci Willis led LC with 12 points and six steals.
Â
Senior center
Danisha Allison led LC seven rebounds, as the Lady Cats were outrebounded by the Mountaineers 49-35.
Â
Fennell led all scorers with 18 points.
