In just its third home game of the season, the Orange women’s basketball team jumped out to a 15-0 lead and rolled past Western Alamance 81-42 on Wednesday night. Coleman Cloer had a season-high 30 points for the Panthers, who remained tied for first place in the Central Conference at 2-0. Freddy Sneed brought the house down with a dynamic dunk off a steal in the fourth quarter. Sneed, a junior who has been a member of the varsity since he was a freshman, finished with seven points and has been a valuable defensive presence this season. Forward Mason Robinson, a sophomore, captured an ally-top pass from Cloer for a monster slam in the third quarter. Robinson finished with six rebounds and five blocks as the Panthers started a four-game homestead. Orange rebounded from three losses in the John Wall Invitational last week, where they played at Broughton High School and William Peace University. The Panthers faced defending 3A Eastern Regional champion Northwood, Broughton and the Jordan Falcons. The Panthers will return home on Friday night to face Walter Williams. Orange is the only undefeated team in conference play in the Central Conference at 2-0 after beating Southern Alamance last month in Graham.
