Women's Basketball Wins in Thrilling Fashion

PBSC trailed by one with less than 3 seconds on the clock. Whatever play Coach Smith drew up on the sideline worked to perfection as the Panthers won on a last second three by Kyandra Poitier.

The ball was inbounded in the front court, received by Rebecca Scott, given right back to Poitier, and Poitier drilled the three from the sideline to end the Panthers' losing skid.

In what was an even match up, Palm Beach came out on top using pure grit as their method to victory.

The Panthers, short-handed and undermanned, never backed down, even when things seemed grim.

While Poitier will receive recognition for her late heroics, and deservedly so, Andrea Torres was the offensive star for the Panthers. Torres finished with 31 points, easily leading the team. Torres posted 30+ points in two of her last three games.

Kyandra Poitier finished 2nd on the team with 15 points. She tied for the team lead with Jaylen Ponder in rebounds with 12. Poitier did lead the team with 9 defensive rebounds.

The Panthers will end the Panther Holiday Classic on Monday as Morton College travels to Palm Beach to take on the Panthers at 11:00 am.
