Freshman Fabinne Lorenz played more than usual.SMC broke the game open early. The Corsairs led, 19-14, then scored the next nine points.Guard Quiana Fentry began the stretch with a steal and layup. Elizabeth Jefferson made a three-point shot, Ashleigh Osborne a short jumper and English a follow-up.The lead grew to 37-18 when English was injured.Osborne is now the team’s primary inside player , with help from Kamesha Moore and Sharde Mcdaugherty.More Sports page 19
