NASHVILLE – The Lipscomb women’s basketball team celebrated seven seniors with a win on senior day Saturday afternoon as the Lady Bisons defeated Kennesaw State 69-52 at Allen Arena.

In the final regular season game in the Purple and Gold for Loren Cagle, Kennedy Potts, Loshaveon Jones, Riley Northway, Auriana Broughton, Meredith Lovelady, and an injured Laure Assena Lipscomb (11-18, 7-7) took an early lead and never looked back.

Sophomore Lauren Rau added nine points, three assists, and a team-high three steals.

Each of the six seniors that played score: Cagle (16), Lovelady (8), Jones (7), Northway (6), Potts (5), and Broughton (3).
