CANTON, Ohio - The Kentucky Wesleyan College women's basketball team mounted a fourth quarter comeback on Thursday night, taking down Malone 81-72 in Canton to complete the season sweep of the Pioneers.

The Panthers trailed by eight with less than five minutes remaining but erupted for a 10-0 run to take a 71-69 lead.  Tahlia Walton scored five while Kaylee Clifford capped it off with a three from the top of the arc.

Malone stopped the bleeding with a free throw but Shaylee McDonald knocked back a three to put Wesleyan ahead by four.  The Pioneers notched a lay up to pull within two but Clifford responded with another three to extend the lead to five.  That lay up would be the Pioneers final basket of the night as they were held scoreless for the final 1:15 of play.

Walton finished with 18 points on the night despite not attempting a single three.  McDonald was right behind with a career-high 17 points off of a trio of three's.

Clifford paced the Panthers with six rebounds while McDonald and Walton each grabbed eight.  Lily Miller dished out five assists while Jordyn Barga recorded a pair of steals.

Wesleyan recorded 26 second-chance points while scoring 34 points in the paint.  The Panthers tallied 20 assists on 28 made shots.

The Panthers will remain in Canton this weekend to take on two-time defending G-MAC Champion Walsh on Saturday.  Wesleyan beat the Cavs by 10 earlier this month in Owensboro.
