Posted Aug 4/12 - Lions Upset Fayetteville and Advances to Final Four

8/4/12 Miami Lakes, FL--After defeating conference mate FL Knighthawks at 8am Saturday morning, the Lions advanced to the National quarter final round to take on the Lady Rush out of Fayetteville, NC at 4pm. This was an even match-up, as both teams thrive on running the basketball. It was going to come down to who had some gas left in the tank.

Lashonda Gaines' half court heave at the end regulation nearly secured the win for the Lions. Instead, both teams would have to find the strength to go another quarter with the score tied at 84 apiece. Ericka Haney scored 5 of her game high 26 points in overtime to help the Lions top the Lady Rush 97-94 to advance to the semi-final round on Sunday, August 5th against St. Louis Surge.

Dawna Wright added 18 points for the Lions and Shirley McCall chipped in 16 off of the bench.
