Harding Holds Off Ouachita; Lampo Pours In 27

SEARCY – Harding sophomore Kellie Lampo scored 27 points and had 10 rebounds, and the Lady Bisons held off Ouachita Baptist 79-75 Saturday in Great American Conference play at the Rhodes-Reaves Field House.

Harding won for the ninth time in 10 home games this season and improved to 16-6 overall and 11-5 in conference. The Lady Bisons, tied with Henderson State and Southern Nazarene for second in the GAC, have won seven straight over Ouachita Baptist in Searcy. The Lady Tigers lost their seventh straight road game and fell to 6-16 overall and 4-12 in the GAC.

Harding shot 74 percent from the field in the first half, including 9-of-11 (82 percent) in the second quarter, and held a 40-20 lead with 2:35 left before halftime.

Ouachita made two late 3-pointers and trimmed Harding's halftime lead to 42-28.

The Lady Tigers opened the third quarter on a 12-2 run and trailed only 44-40 with 4:29 left in the period. Harding closed the quarter on a 6-0 run and led 54-43 entering the fourth.

Harding led by as many as 11 four times in the fourth quarter, the last coming at 2:54 on a Lampo jumper that put the Lady Bisons ahead 75-64. Ouachita made three late 3-pointers to close the final margin to four.

Lampo was 11-of-18 from the field and made 5-of-6 free throws. It was the sixth time this season she scored 25 or more points. Her 10 rebounds gave her seven double-doubles. Cheyenne Brown added 17 points, and Carissa Caples scored 15.

Madison Brittain and Rylee Lavender both scored 20 for Ouachita.

Harding returns to the road Thursday to take on Arkansas Tech in Russellville.
