Sealey, meanwhile, averaged 23.5 points and 7.5 rebounds, leading Lenoir-Rhyne to a pair of wins and keeping the Bears just one game back of Tusculum and Catawba in the SAC women's basketball standings.

The Mount Holly, N.C., native scored 20 points and pulled down eight rebounds on Wednesday at Anderson, then followed with a 27-point, seven-rebound performance against Newberry on Saturday, setting a season-high in scoring.
