SENIOR NIGHT
- Prior to the game, the Panthers and the LaGrange College athletics department took a few moments to recognize their graduating senior class as part of senior night. The senior class of guard Annika Bonds (Athens, Ga.), power forward Amanda Mclendon (Orlando, Fla.), guard Laila Battle (Smyrna, Ga.) and forward Skylar Edwards (Canton, Ga.) have given their all not only on the court, but to the entire LaGrange community as a whole. Although their time on the team may be coming to an end, they will forever be a part of the Panther family.
HOW IT HAPPENED
- Leading 29-18 at halftime, the Panthers finally put the scrappy Scotties away with a 9-2 run midway through the fourth quarter with LaGrange freshman guard Adazhah Burrell (Melbourne, Fla.) burying a three-pointer with 4:53 to go to put the hosts up by 15.
INSIDE THE NUMBERS
- Burrell led the Panthers with a career-high 19 points with 11 rebounds, four assists and four steals in a dominant performance by the rookie.
