CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Freshman center Maci Siniard dropped in a basket with just over a minute to play, giving Anderson a four-point lead and Ashley Abed and Alexa Neal combined for 44 points as Anderson held off Queens, 65-63, in Conference Carolinas women's basketball action Monday night at the Ovens Athletic Center.

Anderson claimed the largest lead of the game, at 17-8,less than seven minutes into the contest.

Anderson regained the lead for good with 6:22 remaining on a basket by Abed, but Queens climbed back within two with just over a minute to play. The Royals had a chance to tie it up with 30 second to play, but a missed putback attempt by Cecilia Tchangoue and a missed field goal in the final seconds by Marissa Hudley left Queens trailing.
