Lady Panthers host #12 Lake Land, fall in Double Overtime

The Lady Panthers and the Lakers of Lake Land College saved their best games for their last games of the weekend.

The Lady Panthers, fresh off wins over Bay College and Montgomery College, hosted #12 Lake Land, who beat Catawba Valley and Brunswick, in a battle of teams who both went 2-0 in the New Year Panther Holiday Classic.

Both teams were playing their 3 game in 3 days, but you wouldn't have known it watching the effort and energy of both teams.  The teams headed to the locker room at  halftime with the score tied at 34.  Lake Land took a 3 point lead into the 4th, which the Lady Panthers answered by outscoring the Lakers by 3 in the 4th to send the game to overtime tied at 58.

Both teams scored 6 points in the 1st overtime.  The Lakers were able to pull away in the 2nd overtime to hold on to the 74-71 victory.

Ashley Thornton had 17 points to lead the Lady Panthers, Andrea Torres had 14 points, Kyandra Poitier had 13, and Athaliah Brown had 11.

The Lady Panthers are back home on Friday January 13th when they host Florida Southwestern at 5:30pm.
