WISE, Va. -- Ashley Rainey finished with 22 points and 10 rebounds, Ashley Franklin hit four 3-pointers and Sarah Gillis added three 3-pointers as No. 25 Lindsey Wilson College outlasted the University of Virginia's College at Wise 80-76 on Thursday at the Convocation Center.

Kristin Mullins paced Uva.-Wise with 19 points and Christine Nyobe posted a double-double of 10 points and 11 rebounds.

Lindsey Wilson (15-7, 4-5 MSC) trailed by seven points in the second half, but a 14-0 run that started with 14:53 to play in the game proved to be enough of a rally to hold off the feisty Cavaliers and snap a two-game losing streak against Mid-South Conference competition.

Uva.-Wise (5-15, 1-8 MSC) refused to go away quietly, as Katie Lester rolled in one of her three 3-pointers with under five seconds to play to climb back within three. The Blue Raiders shot free throws with confidence at the end of the game to hold off the late rally.

It was a sloppy first half as 11 Lindsey Wilson turnovers negated what was as much as a 13-point lead that turned into a 39-34 deficit at the break.

Of course, UVa.-Wise shooting 60.0 percent from the field didn't hurt as Carter and Cluesman scored 12 and 14 points, respectively on a combined 12-of-16 shooting performance.

Rainey picked up two early fouls for the Blue Raiders, forcing her to the bench with only six first-half points. Luckily Gillis stepped up to the offensive challenge with 13 points on three 3-pointers.

For the half, Lindsey Wilson shot 45.0 percent from behind the arc, hitting 5-of-11 attempts.

While Lindsey Wilson's turnover number was bad, the Cavaliers didn't do much better with nine, allowing the Blue Raiders to build its short-lived cushion.

It was a different shooting story in the second half as the Cavaliers shot just 37.8 percent from the field, compared to 55.6 for Lindsey Wilson. Having Rainey on the court for most of the half helped, as she got loose for numerous layups.

The Blue Raiders were without Monny Niamke the entire second half after a muscle pull she had been nursing flared up early in the game. The freshman finished with just seven minutes played.

Uva.-Wise controlled the backboard 39-31, but couldn't take care of the ball, committing 21 turnovers with just 18 assists.

Lindsey Wilson returns to action at 1 p.m. CT on Saturday at the University of Pikeville in Pikeville, Ky.
