In what may have been a first in program history, the Orange women’s basketball team didn’t allow a point in the final 18 minutes of regulation in a game. The Lady Panthers rolled past South Granville 51-6 on Tuesday night to improve to 3-0. Junior forward Jala Rainey made the first start of her high school career and scored nine points, the most since the end of her freshman year when she scored 15 against Northern Durham. Rainey had a three-pointer early in the fourth quarter. Senior Grace Andrews led Orange with ten points. Orange will wrap up the week on Thursday against Carrboro, then venture into Big 8 Conference play next Tuesday against East Chapel Hill in Hillsborough.
