The Orange Women’s Basketball team got off to a good start in the semifinals of the Eastern Alamance Holiday Hoops Tournament in Mebane on Friday night. The Lady Panthers led Eastern Alamance 15-6 at the end of the first quarter, but Orange’s shooting touch was never the same afterwards. The Eagles defeated the Panthers 43-35 to advance to the championship game, where they will face Leesville Road. Orange will take on Big 8 Conference foe Northern Durham in the third place game on Saturday afternoon at 3, the first of three games between the two teams over the next six weeks.
