WINONA LAKE, Ind. - Grace's women's basketball team had plenty to celebrate on Saturday.

The Lady Lancers downed rival Bethel 84-75, headlined by two individual highlights.

Vironnica Drake had a night to remember. The senior wrote her name in the record book, pouring in 46 points to set the program record.

Drake's 46 points broke the previous record of 45 points, set by Kris Doron 24 years ago in 1995.

Additionally, Kyannah Stull registered her 1,000th point during the first quarter. She became the 20th player in team history to reach 1,000 points.

The Lady Lancers (17-9, 8-6 Crossroads League) won despite shooting 37 percent as a team and 29 percent from the 3-point line. But Grace's defensive effort resulted in 24 turnovers by the Pilots (7-19, 1-13 CL).

Neither side could be separated in the first quarter. Bethel struggled to handle Grace's defensive pressure, committing eight turnovers in the period.

But the Pilots (7-19, 1-13 Crossroads League) drilled four 3-pointers to make up for their miscues.

Stull buried a pair of triples in the first quarter, putting her over 1,000 points in her career.

Drake scored 11 points in the first quarter in a sign of things to come, but the Lady Lancers remained tied 21-21 after one quarter.

In the second quarter, Micaela Box gave Grace a boost early with six quick points, helping Grace to a seven-point cushion.

The rest of the quarter belonged to Drake. The senior scored the final 14 points of the half for Grace to power the Lady Lancers to a 47-36 lead at halftime.

Drake poured in 29 points in the first half, three off her career high for a game. She shot 10-of-13 overall and 7-of-7 from the foul line.

Grace struggled with its outside shot, hitting 5-of-17 (29 percent). But Grace forced Bethel into 16 first-half turnovers, resulting in 18 points off those mistakes.

Drake's scoring continued to start the second half. She buried back-to-back triples, putting the Lady Lancers on top 58-40 after four minutes had expired in the third quarter.

Entering the fourth quarter, Grace held a 14-point edge.

The Lady Lancers maintained a comfortable margin before the Pilots made a late charge to make the end interesting.

Bethel went on a 14-4 surge; the Pilots hit two straight triples, cutting Grace's margin to 80-73 with less than a minute to play.

Kamryn Hostetler sank two free throws on the next possession, and Bethel came up empty and had to foul.

Drake received the foul and stepped up to the line with 44 points, two shots away from history. She calmly swished both foul shots to tie and surpass the school record. Drake was subbed off at the stoppage, leaving to the sound of the full crowd's applause.

Drake's 46 points came on 14-of-22 shooting, 4-of-8 on 3-pointers and 14-of-18 from the foul line. She added seven boards and two steals.

Stull tallied 13 points with two steals, and Hostetler had 10 points and three assists. Maddie Ryman and Box each scored six, and Kaylie Warble grabbed seven rebounds.

"Any win in this league is big. I was nervous after a big win on Wednesday, but I was pleased we didn't have an emotional letdown. The ladies came out and did what was needed to win," said Grace head coach Dan Davis. "It was a cool night to have two milestones as well. This was a special performance from Vironnica. I'm excited for her, particularly with her growth on and off the court. Who she is and what she means to this program is really great."

The Lady Lancers are on the road Wednesday, playing at Spring Arbor at 7 p.m.
