DANVILLE, Va. — Averett rallied late, but Greensboro College held on in the final minutes to spoil the Cougars' Senior Night with a 68-63 win on Wednesday night.

Averett (10-14, 6-11 USA South) and Greensboro (20-4, 14-3 USA South) were tied at halftime, but Greensboro used a 12-2 run midway through the half to jump in front. The Cougars chipped away in the final minutes, getting within two points on junior Mette Scheiman's 3-pointer with 1:04 to play. Greensboro answered with a jumper as the shot clock expired at the other end.

Senior Liz Martin, who became the sixth Averett player in program history to reach 1,000 career points, hit a layup with 16.2 seconds left to get the Cougars back within two, but the Pride hit their free throws in the final seconds to pull away.

Scheiman had 21 of her career-high 27 points in the first half to help the Cougars go into halftime tied 28-28. Martin, who entered the contest seven points shy of 1,000, finished with 18 points, all but one coming in the second half. Senior Kyana Smith added a career-high 18 rebounds and nine points.

Prior to the game, Averett honored all four seniors — Martin, Smith, Kaneshia Slade and Abby Bailey.
