November 10, 2010

COMMERCE -- No. 19 state-ranked Commerce spoiled Greenville's season basketball opener on Tuesday night, handing the Lady Lions a 55-31 loss.

Commerce jumped out to a 10-0 lead before the Lady Lions scored.

"Slow start," said Lady Lions coach Lesa Darst. "Commerce had a lot of pressure. I thought their defense shook us up a little bit the first quarter."

Raven Massey pumped in 20 points to lead Commerce and all scorers. Chelsea Love also tossed in 13 points for the Lady Tigers.

Shanterria Riley led Greenville with eight points and five steals.

MacKenzie Cooper added seven points, seven steals and six assists.
