November 9, 2009
PIKEVILLE, Ky. – Junior Natiera Hinton poured in a career high 41 points and grabbed nine rebounds to lead Pikeville College to an 81-77 win over Alice Lloyd College on Monday night.
It wasn’t as easy as may have been expected. In the second half the Lady Eagles led by 12 points three different times, as late as 67-55 after a layup by junior Bree Frazier with 7:34 left. The edge was still in double digits as late as the 5:09 mark when junior Ashley Mynster hit a three-point shot.
But then the Lady Bears took over. They scored the game’s next 13 points, with eight coming from Hinton, who assisted on one of Sally Roberts’ consecutive baskets as she scored the remaining five in the stretch.
When Hinton hit a free throw with 1:49 left, the lead was 77-74 and the Lady Bears held on for the win.
Hinton hit 15-of-29 from the floor and was 11-of-15 from the line. Six of his rebounds were off the offensive glass, and she was credited with six steals.
Hinton was joined in double figures by junior Lauren Potts, who came off the bench to hit for 12 to go with four rebounds and three assists. Junior Whitney Compton had eight points, 10 rebounds, five assists, five blocked shots and three steals.
Alice Lloyd (1-3) had three players reach double figures, paced by junior Bailey Gabbard’s 22. Former Lady Bear Kelli Jo Moore came off the bench to fire in 18, while Mynster hit for 12.
Pikeville (2-0) will be back in action Wednesday night when they visit U.Va.-Wise at 5:30 p.m.
