SOUTH PADRE ISLAND, TX - Junior forward Brittany Dahn (Glen Allen, VA/Deep Run) scored a game-high 18 points as the Lynchburg College women's basketball team knocked off Augustana College 71-63 in the final day of the South Padre Island Shootout from the South Padre Island Convention Center Sunday.

Lynchburg would lead the entire second half, bulging the lead up to 10 with 10:09 left after a Dahn lay-up. Augustana trimmed into the advantage, and with 1:19 left, a Lani Kasten jumper closed the Lynchburg lead to three. Junior Loriann Garcia (Germantown, MD/Seneca Valley) sealed the deal with a lay-up to put the Hornets up five, and free throws down the stretch pushed the final edge out to eight.
