ATHENS — Rachel Artrip scored 19 points and Jacqueline Kestner added 15 points and 11 rebounds in her third double-double of the season, but the Battlers squeaked past the Lady Lions.

Cayla Rhodes scored a late basket to give Alderson-Broaddus a lead it would keep.

Concord (6-15 overall, 5-10 WVIAC) trailed by three points with eight seconds left to play when a three-point attempt by Rachel Artrip nearly tied the game before rattling off the rim.

However Jacqueline Kestner kept hope alive for Concord by pulling in the missed shot and drawing a foul.

Kestner proceeded to knock down two free throws to pull Concord to within one point at 59-58 with five seconds remaining in the regulation.

CU immediately fouled to send A-B to the foul line where Leah Hurst made one of two free throws, giving Concord the ball with three seconds remaining and down by two.

A desperation shot by Artrip missed, allowing A-B to escape with a narrow road win.

Artrip had a game-high 19 points. Kestner earned her third double-double of the season with 15 points and 11 rebounds.
