Henning Led Lady Pirates Defeat Salem on the MSC Road

The Lady Pirate Basketball team has struggled most of the season offensively and at times at the charity stripe; but not at Salem (8-10 & 1-7 MSC) Thursday night.  The Lady Pirates compiled a "total team effort" game and handed the Lady Lions a 53-44 set back in Mid-Southern Conference play.  Charlestown (3-14 & 1-6 MSC) was led in scoring by Freshman Kaitlynn Henning, who finished the night with 24 points while shooting a perfect 8 of 8 from the free throw line.  Sophomore Jessica Farmer also paced the winners by adding 11 points and shooting 7-9 from the line; while Junior Taryn Moore led the rebounding battle with eight.  The Lady Pirates as a team made 23 of 26 free throw attempts and posted 41 total team rebounds, eleven of which were offensive.  The Lady Pirates will host Clarksville (4-14 & 0-7) Thursday evening with hopes of developing more steam heading into post season play.
