Dec. 3, 2010

WILBERFORCE, OH- Kenyatta Gill tallied her first double of the season as the Elizabeth City State University Lady Vikings rallied for a 70-64 win over Kentucky Wesleyan College at the Ben Waterman Classic.

Gill put up game highs of 22 points and 10 rebounds as the Lady Vikings won their fourth consecutive game. Those totals represent season bests for her.
