Lady Bisons Fall to Southern Nazarene, Drop to Second in GAC

BETHANY, Okla. (AP) — Harding's bid to stay atop the Great American Conference standings fell short Saturday as the Lady Bisons fell 68-62 to Southern Nazarene.

Aubrey Isbell scored 23 points, her fifth 20-point game of the season and 15th of her career, and Sage Hawley added 10 points and 12 rebounds for her 10th double-double of the season and 62nd of her career. Her 12 rebounds gave her 1,242 for her career and moved her into the NCAA Division II Top 25. 

The Lady Bisons trailed by as many as nine points in the fourth quarter, but managed to cut the deficit to six with 34 seconds remaining. Josie Williams, who had 10 points, hit a 3-pointer with 13 seconds left to make it 68-62, but it was too little, too late.

Hannah Giddey led Southern Nazarene with 20 points and 11 rebounds. The win gives Southern Nazarene a one-game lead over Harding in the GAC standings with six games remaining.

Harding falls to 17-5 overall and 13-3 in the GAC, while Southern Nazarene improves to 17-5 overall and 14-2 in conference play.
