CLINTON, Miss. – It took double overtime, but the Lane College women’s basketball team picked up a victory on opening week of the 2024-2025 season.
Trailing by two at the end of regulation, Breonna Carey hit a layup to tie the game and send it into overtime. As the extra period was winding down, the Dragons again found themselves down by two when Chantoryia Rivers hit a jumper in the paint with 12 seconds remaining to take the game into a second overtime.
Dyani Bernstine scored the first four points of double overtime before Mississippi College went on a 5-0 run to take a lead with under a minute remaining in the game.
Taylor Lattimore then buried a three with 28 seconds left to give Lane the lead and ultimately the win.
Two Dragons ended the game with double-doubles. Carey finished with 15 points and 10 rebounds. Bernstine had 10 points and 11 rebounds.
