Lady Indians improve to 4-1 with win over Boiling Springs

Kierra Phillips was too much for Boiling Springs to handle on Friday.

Phillips finished with 21 points and Keisha Leach added 14 to lead Gaffney to a 48-39 win and season sweep over the visiting Lady Bulldogs.

The Lady Indians jumped to a 4-point lead at the end of the first quarter and extended their advantage to 20-14 at the break.

The scoring pace picked up in the third quarter, as both teams nearly equalled their first-half output.

But the Lady Indians still held a 35-31 edge at the end of the third quarter. The Lady Indians outscored the visitors, 13-8, over the final quarter to earn the victory.

Gaffney, which is now 4-1, will return to the court Friday in the first round of the Lady Hilltoppers tournament in Forest City, N.C.
