WINCHESTER, Va. - Visiting Greensboro College made its final USA South Conference trip to Winchester a positive one with a 79-67 women's basketball victory over Shenandoah Saturday afternoon.
The Pride (11-3, 7-2) shot 52 percent for the game to down SU (5-11, 2-7) for the fourth straight time.
The loss is also the Hornets fourth straight.
The two teams traded the lead twice and were tied other times, but GC took the lead for good on the strength of a 10-0 from the 14:52 to 11:13 marks of the first.
Shenandoah was able to cut the deficit to five points on two other occasions, but could get no closer.
Sophomore Katherine Hooker, on a last-second baseline stickback, brought SU to within six points, 36-30, at the break.
Unfortunately for the Shingleton Gymnasium crowd, the Pride scored the initial 10 points of the second half and the Hornets never seriously threatened again.
Greensboro eventually pushed its lead to 20 points with 2:37 remaining before coasting home to the 12-point victory.
Pre-season All-America Danielle Duncan led the Pride with a game-high 22 points.
Freshman Holly Chittenden had 18 points and 10 rebounds for the hosts while Sam Akers added 17 points and Kerby Hatter 10.
Shenandoah is back in action on Tuesday at Ferrum in a 5:30 USA South Conference matchup.
