Indians Fall on the Road to Mars Hill

MARS HILL, N.C. - Three Mars Hill players scored double-digit points while the Lady Lions shot 58 percent from the field to get the 74-62 victory over Newberry on Monday evening at the Stanford Arena.

Mars Hill moves to 8-4 overall and a 2-0 mark in the South Atlantic Conference.  Newberry's overall record now stands at 12-2 with a 1-2 record in league play.  The Lady Indians will hit the road once again on Wednesday evening as they face Lenoir-Rhyne for a 6:00 pm tip-off.

The Lady Lions jumped out to a 16-7 lead at the 13:13 mark of the first half when Lindsay Roberts converted on a layup.  The Lady Indians would cut the Mars Hill lead to five points at 24-19 when Ashley Marine drained a three-point basket with 6:58 remaining in the first half.  From there, however, Mars Hill would go on a 17-9 run over the final 6 minutes played to take a 41-28 lead into the locker room at halftime.

In the second half, Mars Hill continued their hot shooting from the field and moved out to a 17-point lead when Alison Schafer's layup with 6:39 to play gave the Lions a 62-45 lead.  

Tonique Frasier registered her fifth double-double of the season with 16 points and 11 rebounds while also recording four steals.  Monica Alexander had her third-straight double-figure scoring game with 12 points.  Marine came off the bench and scored 14 points, including four-of-eight from beyond the arc. 

Roberts led Mars Hill in scoring with 20 points on nine-of-11 shooting from the field.  Abby Debusk finished with 19 points while Schafer contributed 15 points on the evening.
