[NOV. 29, 2005]  The Lincoln Christian College Angels broke open a close game with the Greenville Panthers by scoring seven unanswered points when the score had been tied at 36-36 with six minutes left in the contest. A free throw by Kari Otto and baskets by Evie Doss, Megan Buxton and Jessica Fender took the Angels to 43-36 advantage. From that point on the teams traded points, resulting in the final score of Angels 51, Panthers 44.
