The California Baptist University women's basketball team erased a double-digit, second-half deficit and outlasted Abilene Christian 74-71 in a Western Athletic Conference game on Saturday. Junior guard Khloe Lemon scored a game-high 25 points, including six 3-pointers, to lead the Lancers' comeback. The win allowed CBU to widen its lead in the conference standings to two games over Abilene Christian and three over Southern Utah with seven games left to play.
Why it matters
This game was a key conference matchup between two of the top teams in the WAC. The Lancers' ability to rally from a large deficit on the road against a previously unbeaten home team at Moody Coliseum demonstrates their resilience and championship pedigree as they look to secure the regular-season conference title.
The details
After trailing by as many as 10 points in the second half, the Lancers used a 16-4 run in the fourth quarter to regain the lead. Lemon hit a game-tying 3-pointer with 4:46 remaining, and Filipa Barros followed with another 3-pointer to put CBU ahead. The Lancers then held on in the final minute, with Lemon sealing the victory with a late 3-pointer.
