CLINTON, S.C. – Shonda Burnside turned in the Presbyterian College women's basketball program's first double-double since 2010-11 to lift the Blue Hose to a win over visiting Southern Wesleyan on Monday night, 62-50.

PC (2-2) forced 25 Southern Wesleyan (1-5) turnovers and outscored the Warriors in each half en route to the win. The Blue Hose play the second game of a back-to-back homestand against South Carolina State on Tuesday evening at 7 p.m.

Burnside finished the night with 12 points and 12 rebounds, becoming the first Blue Hose with a double-double since Sherece Smith delivered 16 points and 10 rebounds against Gardner-Webb on February 26, 2011. The feat marks Burnside's second of her career and the first since 12 points and 10 rebounds against Gardner-Webb on February 20, 2010.

Dria David (Lawrenceville, Ga.) nearly achieved a triple-double with nine points, eight assists and seven rebounds. Karlee Taylor (Asheville, N.C.) paced the Blue Hose in scoring with 17 points while Mariah Pietrowski (Elizabethton, Tenn.) poured in 16.

Southern Wesleyan's Laura Johnson led her team in scoring and Ashley Cooper posted 13 points and nine rebounds.

Up 30-22 at halftime, the Blue Hose fended off a surging Warriors squad early in second as the visitors pulled within three points four minutes in, 37-34.

Southern Wesleyan immediately answered a David three-pointer with one of its own, but Taylor then knocked one down on the other end to kickstart a stretch that gave PC eight points of breathing room.

Both teams struggled to find the basket when PC took a 48-40 halfway through the period. A David free-throw at 11:56 stood as the last point scored until Southern Wesleyan converted a layup with 7:49 left in the game, a span of 4:07.

Taylor answered on a rainbow from downtown to give a nine-point lead. PC's advantage hovered around 10 for the rest of the game as the home side led by as many as 13 down the stretch.

The Blue Hose shot 37.7 percent from the floor (26-for-69) and boasted 20 assists, 16 steals and seven blocks. The assists total marks the most since 21 against UNC Asheville on February 12, 2011. PC overcame a cold day from long range, going 7-for-26 for a 26.9 percent clip.

PC held the Warriors at bay for most of the first half before breaking an 18-18 tie with a 12-4 run to take a 30-22 advantage into the halftime break. The run began with a Kasey Hobbie (Spring Lake, N.J.) layup and featured four points each from Burnside and Pietrowski.

Burnside dominated in the opening period, scoring 10 points and collecting nine rebounds. She also blocked two shots—including a vicious swat midway through the frame—and went 5-for-7 from the field.

Pietrowski also went 5-for-8 en route to 10 points at the break and David enjoyed a helpful first stanza, dishing out five assists.
