May joins 1,000-point Club at Berea

December 01, 2005

Lincoln County basketball alum Rebecca May is off to a strong start in her junior season at Berea College.

May, a 5'9Ã¢Â?? guard, led the Lady Mountaineers in a 57-point victory at the Seabury Center in Berea scoring a game-high 21 points and followed with a 15-point effort in a win over Savanah Tuesday night.

May, who holds the Berea school record for most points scored in a season (489), most three-point goals in a season (80) and is tied for the record of most three-point goals in a game (8), almost equaled her record eight three-point goals tallying seven from behind the arc in a 134-77 win over Temple Baptist.

But it was her 15-point performance in the Lady Mountaineers' 95-73 win over Savanah that catapulted her into an elite group of athletes at Berea. The 15-point night, which included 12 points from three-point land, pushed May into the 1,000-point Club.

May's 15 points was the team high for Berea in the win with Candy Walls following with 14 points. Crystal Davis added 13 points, Brittany Carr had 11 points and LaShondra Gray scored 10 points.

Berea led Savanah 46-38 at the half and outscored the Lady Bees 49-35 in the second half to earn the win.

A total of seven Lady Mountaineers hit double digits in the Temple Baptist rout with Sarah Hughes and LaQuesha Bosley each scoring 16 points, Jessica Engle scoring 15 points, Walls and Gray tallying 13 points each and DeAn Watkins finishing with 10 points.

The Lady Mountaineers dominated the game from the opening tipoff outscoring the Temple Baptist Rams 73-35 in the first half. Berea outscored Temple Baptist 61-42 in the second half.
