Panthers Grab First Win
Ferrum Defeats Palm Beach Atlantic

Ferrum, Va. – The Ferrum College women's basketball team earned its first win of the season, an 86-68 victory over Palm Beach Atlantic University at the Methodist College/Cross Creek Innkeeper Turkey Shootout.

Senior Angela VonWergers (Albany, N.Y./Hudson Valley College) led the Panthers today with 26 points and 10 rebounds.  Sophomore Aline Alzime (Leesburg, Va./Stonebridge) added 24 points and 11 rebounds.  Both players were named to the All-Tournament team.

Senior Tara Toland (North, S.C./North) had 12 points and tied an 18-year-old school record for single game assists.  Toland's 14 assists tied the mark set by former All-American Lisa Childress against Brevard College on November 22, 1986.  Sophomore Charde Evans (Virginia Beach, Va./Coastal Christian Academy) had 10 points in the win.

Ferrum (1-4) returns to action Wednesday, December 1, when it opens USA South Athletic Conference play at Averett University in Danville, Virginia.  For more information, please contact the Ferrum sports information office at (540) 365-4306.
