#3 Lander defeats Lenoir-Rhyne 67-55 to finish the SAC/PBC Challenge 2-0

HICKORY, N.C. - Lander wrapped up play in the SAC/PBC Challenge with a 67-55 win over the host Lenoir-Rhyne Bears Sunday.  

The Bearcats got off to a slow start, trailing 14-11 midway through the first period. Lander would respond, and a three-pointer by Zamiya Passmore gave the Bearcats the 18-16 lead going into the second quarter.  

Less than a minute into the period, Lenoir-Rhyne had cut the lead to one point at 20-19. A layup by Makaila Cangé would start a 14-2 run by the Bearcats to make it a 13 point game. Lander continued to lead by double-digits for the remainder of the quarter and took a 43-32 lead into the break.  

The Lander defense would be lights out in the third quarter as they outscored Lenoir-Rhyne 12-3 to take a commanding 55-35 lead going into the final period. The Bears couldn't recover from the deficit, as the Bearcats took the win.  

Makaila Cangé led the Bearcats with her second straight double-double. Cangé scored a career-high 31 points and pulled down ten rebounds. Miriam Recarte also had a double-double, scoring 12 points and a game-high 11 rebounds, while Passmore added 12 points and six assists.
