Lady Hawks rally late but fall at Ferrum

FERRUM, Va. – The Huntingdon women's basketball team rallied from an 11-point deficit in the final seven minutes but fell to Ferrum College 53-48 on Sunday.

Ferrum (8-10, 6-3 USA South) led 45-34 with 7:02 to play in the game before Huntingdon (7-9, 2-7 USA South) made a final push. A 3-pointer by Tiarrial Duncan capped a 14-5 run by the Lady Hawks to make it a 50-48 game with 17 seconds left.

Ferrum sealed the game with three free throws.

Sophomore Juliette Harp turned in her 11th double-double of the season with 15 points and 13 rebounds.
