The Berry women's basketball team defeated Sewanee 53-46 in a Southern Athletic Association road matchup on Sunday afternoon in Sewanee, Tenn.

The Vikings (14-8, 9-3 SAA) had been outscored in every quarter, but the offense flipped a switch in the fourth outscoring the Tigers 24-9 to steal the win away.

The Tigers took a seven point lead into second half, 24-17. Back-to-back threes gave Sewanee an 11 point lead early in the third quarter. The Tigers kept the Vikings at arm's length for the rest of the quarter.

With Berry down 41-33, Kenadie Lee hit a three pointer in the first minute of the fourth quarter to cut Sewanee's lead down to five points. Trailing by six with just over four minutes to play, Sydney Blankenship scored a driving layup and converted the old-fashioned three-point play at the free-throw line to cut the lead in half. After two Kristin Hunt free-throws, Blankenship gave the Vikings their first lead since early in the first quarter with a lay-up at 42-41. After a Sewanee free-throw, Lee came up with her second three of the afternoon. Lee would hit a pair of free-throws on the next trip down the floor and Berry would pull away with Lee and Raven Washington hitting free-throws to seal the victory for Berry.

Lee set a new career-best with 19 points, and shot 6-6 from the charity stripe. Blankenship followed with 12 points. The team totaled 31 rebounds, with seven coming from Kennedy Moore.

With the win, the Vikings clinch the second seed for the SAA Championships. Berry still has one game remaining in the regular season, as the Vikings are back in action against Wednesday against Oglethorpe at 6 p.m. in the Cage Center for Senior Night.
