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 (14-9, 13-5 Conference Carolinas) extended its win streak to four games and swept the season series with the Lady Royals. Queens (12-11, 11-7 Conference Carolinas) had its two game win streak snapped and fell to 12-11 overall and 11-7 in league play. The last time these two teams met, the Trojans claimed narrow 67-65 win when freshman forward Breonda Shannon dropped in a buzzer-beating shot from the left side, but this time it was Siniard who provided the winning margin. The matchup was back-and-forth the entire 40 minutes, with the contest featuring 11 lead changes and seven ties. Anderson claimed the largest lead of the game, at 17-8,less than seven minutes into the contest. Anderson led by one at the half, 28-27, but the Lady Royals started the second with a 16-8 run to create a five-point cushion more than five minutes in. 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. Anderson's Neal led the Trojans with 23 point game and seven rebounds, while Ashley Abed was just off Neal's pace with 21 points and seven boards. Hudley's 23 points and 10 rebounds led the Lady Royals. The double-double was her ninth of the season and ties her best scoring performance. Anderson plays its final road game of the 2009-10 campaign on Saturday when the Trojans visit Barton for a 7:30 p.m. tip-off at Wilson Gym. Box Score
