FLORENCE, S.C. – The Lander women's basketball team forced 32 turnovers and got season high point totals from Tabitha Dailey and Makaila Cange as the Bearcats knocked off Francis Marion, 82-67, on Saturday afternoon. 

Neither team led by more than four until the 1:31 mark of the second quarter, when a Sarah Crews jumper ignited a 6-0 run to end the half for Lander (10-3, 5-0 PBC) and give the Bearcats a 34-25 lead at the intermission. After Francis Marion (5-6, 1-4) trimmed the deficit to eight early in the third period, Lander embarked on a game-changing 14-3 tear, highlighted by seven points from Jessica Harris.

The Patriots closed the gap to six with 8:41 left in the fourth quarter, but Cange netted five straight points to give the Bearcats an 11-point cushion. From there, Dailey and Harris took over, scoring Lander's final 13 points to close out the Bearcats' sixth consecutive victory.

Dailey finished with a game-high 27 points while also collecting nine rebounds. Harris netted 19, going 8-for-12 from the free-throw line. Cange had her finest outing as a Bearcat, tallying 17 points and 13 rebounds in 32 minutes, all career highs. 

Lander makes the trip to UNC Pembroke on Wednesday for a 5:30 p.m. contest.
