LINCOLN UNIVERSITY, Pa. – Saint Augustine's College needed a career-high 23 points from LeKiesha White (Jr./Richmond, Va.) to fend off pesky Lincoln (Pa.) University 62-58 in a non-conference women's basketball game Monday (Jan. 25) at Rivero Hall.

White scored five points in the last 2:30 including two free throws with 14 seconds left for a 61-57 lead. After Brittney Waters of the Lady Lions made one of three free throws after she was fouled on a three-point attempt, White sealed the win with a free throw with five seconds left as the Lady Falcons (10-7 overall) averted an upset by the Lady Lions (2-15), who are expected to enter the CIAA next season.

White also added eight rebounds, four assists and four steals. Allison Sikes (Jr./Richmond, Va.) added 17 points, nine rebounds and four steals for the Lady Falcons, who recorded 14 steals. Keyona Bryant (So./Springdale, Md.) scored 12 points.
