Avenging Angels Soar to Victory on Alumnae Appreciation Day

RALEIGH, N.C. | Meredith College basketball took control early and didn't look back in Saturday's 62-45 win over Salem College. Pam Mock and Rylie Wade each notched a double-double in the win. Mock had 18 points, and a season-high 10 rebounds and Wade scored 10 points and hauled in 18 boards.

QUOTING HEAD COACH MEGAN RAHN:
"We want to thank our Meredith Alum for bringing the energy we needed for this team win today! I'm so proud of our rebounding efforts and the way we stayed poised for four quarters!"
