MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Centre women's basketball used a late 12-1 run to complete a come-from-behind victory at Rhodes Friday evening, stunning the host Lynx in Southern Athletic Association action inside Mallory Gymnasium.
 
After trailing by as much as 14 points in the second half, the Colonels (11-10, 4-6 SAA) stormed back to complete the season sweep over Rhodes (11-10, 4-6).
 
Centre won the first meeting in a similarly narrow 60-56 decision in Alumni Gymnasium back on Jan. 4.
