PEDRO - No points earned lots of points with Chesapeake Lady Panthers coach John McClung.

Although Veronica Perko had just 4 points, McClung gave her a lot of credit for the Lady Panthers 33-27 Ohio Valley Conference win over the Rock Hill Redwomen Monday.

"Veronica Perko sparked us. She didn't score, but her hustle on the floor gave us a spark," McClung said. "Our offense just isn't doing it right now, but we played good defense."

Candace Dickerson had 10 points to lead the Lady Panthers, 11-8 overall and 6-3 in the OVC. Noelle Wood, who sat out much of the game in foul trouble, added 7 points. Sara Rucker had six rebounds and Brittany Boyle added 6 points and three assists.

Mandy McKenzie scored 12 points to lead the Redwomen (1-13, 0-8).

Wood had 3 points in the first quarter to offset 3 points by McKenzie as Chesapeake took a 13-8 lead.

Wood had 4 more points in the second quarter to push the lead to 21-10 at the half.

Rock Hill outscored Chesapeake 17-12 in the second half including 10-6 in the fourth quarter when McKenzie had 6 points.

Poor foul shooting plagued the Lady Panthers. They were only 5 of 12 for the game and a mere 2 of 6 in the fourth quarter.
