February 6, 2010
PIKEVILLE, Ky. – A furious Pikeville College rally fell just short on Saturday as the Lady Raiders of Lindsey Wilson College held on for a 65-61 win.
The win evened Lindsey at 4-4 in Mid-South Conference play and improved them to 14-8 overall. The Lady Bears slipped to 14-10 overall, 2-6 in the league.

But Pikeville came back, pulling within two points late. A jumper by junior Natiera Hinton fell short with eight seconds left. Forced to foul, Lindsey missed both free throws with six seconds remaining but junior Diondra Anthony, a 5-7 guard, got the rebound and hit both free throws with two seconds left to seal the deal.
