GAFFNEY, S.C. -- Despite having three players reach double figures, the Anderson women's basketball team wrapped up its brief two-game Conference Carolinas road swing with its first conference setback, 70-64, to Limestone Wednesday night at Timken Gym. The loss snapped the Trojans' three-game win streak and dropped Anderson to 6-5 overall and 5-1 in the conference, while Limestone won its second straight contest, improving to 5-6 and evening its conference record at 3-3. The game featured eight ties and six lead changes in the opening 10 minutes of action, wit neither team able to gain more than a three-point lead until Lady Saints' guard Maria Young scored at the 8:45 mark to give LC a 26-21 cushion. Limestone went on to claim a 10-point lead three times in the opening frame before the score settled at 42-35 at the half. The Trojans refused to go away and came out of the break on an 11-4 run fueled by scoring efforts from four different players. AU knotted the score for the ninth and final time of the night on a basket by freshman guard Alissa Diaz, but Anderson could not gain the lead as Limestone's Brittany Miller gave the Lady Saints a lead they would not surrender, 48-46, with 12:26 remaining in the game. After trailing by eight with less than five minutes to go, Anderson rallied yet again and climbed to within 66-62 on freshman Breonda Shannon's second basket of the night with exactly 3:00 on the clock. Young answered on the other end with a pair of free throws and AU was unable to score again until Korie Sellers dropped in a basket inside the final 30 seconds. "We were not focused and ready to play tonight," Anderson head coach Jim Brunelli said. "But we had some great individual performances and we will not let this loss define the season for us." Limestone held a slim 33-31 edge on the boards and the Trojans forced 14 turnovers, but committed 17 miscues of their own. Senior guard Shanice Wilson led the way for Anderson, scoring a team-high 17 points and collecting a team-best six rebounds. Freshman Maci Siniard added 14 points and pulled down 14 boards, while junior guard Ashley Abed netted 12 points on 5-of-6 shooting from the field. Anderson comes back to the Abney Athletic Center when the Trojans play host to conference-foe St. Andrews on Saturday afternoon. Tip-off versus the Lady Knights is slated for 2 p.m. in the women's-men's doubleheader. Game Stats
