SALISBURY, N.C. - The Newberry College women's basketball team picked up its fourth South Atlantic Conference victory of the season with a 63-49 win over the Catawba College Lady Indians in Goodman Gym on Saturday.

Newberry (13-5, 4-3 SAC) held the hosts to 16 points in the opening half and shot 51.1 percent (24-of-47) from the field en route to the win.

Tonique Frasier (Walterboro, S.C.) scored 20 points and grabbed 11 rebounds to earn her ninth double-double of the season and fifth in the last six games. Ashlee Wright (Myrtle Beach, S.C.) was the only other Lady Indian in double figures, as the senior scored 12 points.

Catawba (8-10, 1-5 SAC) jumped out to a 6-2 lead by making its first three shots of the game, but Newberry held the North Carolina Indians to 7-of-23 shooting from the field in the opening half. The teams battled back and forth early, but Newberry claimed the lead for good with 8:51 until the break on a Wright layup.

Catawba's Christi Bartlett cut Newberry's lead to 17-16 with 6:46 until the half, but that would be the hosts' final score in the first period. Newberry closed out the half on a 10-0 run, taking a 27-16 lead into the break.

Leanne Watson (Stone Mountain, Ga.) scored on a jumper on the opening possession of the second half and the Lady Indians never looked back. Catawba made a valiant effort to cut into the lead as the game progressed, but the home team never made it closer than an eight-point margin.

Newberry scored the final five points of the game to earn the 63-49 win.

Catawba only shot 16-of-60 (26.7 percent) from the floor and Newberry used the poor shooting to its advantage by collecting 44 rebounds - 36 on the defensive end - while Catawba only grabbed 29 boards.

The Lady Indians return to the friendly confines of Eleazer Arena to finish the first trip through the South Atlantic Conference for a Wednesday night matchup with provisional conference member Brevard College at 6 p.m. Catawba travels to Carson-Newman on Wednesday.
