The Lady Greyhounds battled the region's top team even for three quarters but couldn't hold on in the fourth, falling to North Arkansas College 60-53 Saturday at The Dog House.

The teams were tied at the half, 30-30, before ASU Mid-South took a 45-43 lead into the fourth quarter, but North Arkansas held the Lady Greyhounds to eight fourth-quarter points for the victory.

Ashley Pegue led the way with 17 points and 7 rebounds, and Adrianne Chambers scored 15 points and also pulled down 7 boards. Cierra Penn scored 14 points, collected 6 rebounds and dished out a team-high 5 assists, while Alindavia Lockett came off the bench to score 7 and pull down a team-high 12 rebounds. The Lady Greyhounds shot just 32.2% from the field and were only 5-of-12 from the free throw line.
