BREVARD, N.C. - For the fourth game in a row the trio of junior Haylee Lepaio, junior Samantha Creed and senior Tasia Holdorf each notched double-digits in scoring as the Wolves snuck out of Boshamer Gymnasium with a 62-58 victory over the Brevard Tornados.

After a layup from Holdorf (Anchorage, Alaska) the home side not only knotted things up with a 3-pointer from Taylor Hiatt the Tornados found themselves up by six with a 13-7 lead and 11 minutes on the clock after a jumper from Madison Lenox.

The Wolves kept themselves in the game as the two teams exchanged leads over the final ten minutes of the opening period. Brevard leapt out to a four-point lead on a Katie Williams 3-point make with 2:18 left, Newberry answered quickly as Creed (Montmorency, Victoria, Australia) scored on back-to-back possessions to tie up the game at 27-27 heading into halftime.
