MOUNT BERRY, Ga— Kenadie Lee scored the game's final five points to lead Berry to a 52-51 victory in its Southern Athletic Association opener against Oglethorpe Saturday afternoon in The Cage Center.

In the last minute of the game with the Stormy Petrels (2-4, 0-1) ahead 48-47, Lee drained a three from the top of the key to put the Vikings ahead by two. Oglethorpe followed with a three the next trip down the floor to take the lead by one, 51-50, with 34.9 remaining.

As the clock wound down, Lee drove the ball into the paint and drew a foul heading up for a shot with 6.6 to go. The sophomore made both free throws to put BC (4-4, 1-0) up 52-51. Oglethorpe's final shot would clang off the iron, and Ellie Gearing grabbed her fourth rebound of the game to secure the win.

"I looked up and got the open three and I knew I had to jump on that opportunity," said Lee. "Then making free throws under pressure. Those are just things that have to get done."

Two players scored in the double-figures, led by Elly Callahan with 15, and Lee with 13.

"We knew that we had to make a statement to the other teams, that we are here to win the conference this year," said Lee. "We're here to put our best foot forward."

The Vikings will next be in action next Saturday against Covenant College in The Cage Center with a 2 p.m. tip-off.
