Haggerty Leads Wesleyan Basketball in GSAC Opener

LaGrange, Ga. - The Wesleyan College basketball team opened Great South Athletic Conference play on Wednesday night, losing to LaGrange College by a score of 97-59.

The Pioneers were led by junior transfer Lindsay Haggerty, who tallied her second straight double-double of the season with 19 points and 11 rebounds.  Freshman La Joi Battle pitched in 15 points in her first action of the season, while senior Erinn Williams added 13.

Depth and a hot-hand by LaGrange proved to be too much for Wesleyan to overcome.  The Panthers were 12-29 from beyond the arc and had seven players score in double digits.

Wesleyan makes its home debut on Friday night when they take on GSAC frontrunner Piedmont College at 6:00pm in Porter Gymnasium.
