Alesha Clayton scored 24 points and Diane Burns added 23 points as Felician College held off a late rally to defeat Goldey-Beacom College 91-88 Thursday night in Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference women’s basketball action at MBNA America Hall.
Sophomore Kim Rowley (Dover, DE) scored a game-high 25 points to lead the Lightning, who trailed by 21 points at 77-56 with 9:59 remaining in regulation. Goldey-Beacom outscored the Golden Falcons 32-14 the rest of the way despite being outrebounded 54-47 on the evening. The Lightning had an opportunity to tie the game with nine seconds remaining but freshman Natasha Scott (Philadelphia, PA) – who finished with 19 points and eight rebounds - could not connect on a three-point field goal attempt.
Danielle Norman chipped in with 13 points and a team-high 14 rebounds for Felician (8-9, 8-8 CACC) while sophomore Toni Jones (Rehobeth Beach, DE) came off the bench to score 19 points for the Lightning (4-17, 3-13 CACC).
The game was marred with sloppy play throughout as the two schools combined for 47 fouls and 73 free throw attempts.
The Lightning return to action this Saturday when they take on Post University at 1 p.m.
