Lane dominates Savannah State with 85–58 win

JACKSON, Tenn. — Lane College remained unbeaten in dominant fashion on Saturday afternoon, rolling past Savannah State 85–58 inside J.F. Lane Gymnasium to improve to 3–0 on the season and 2–0 in SIAC play.

Lane controlled the game from start to finish, using a 26–14 second-quarter surge to break things open before outscoring the Tigers 23–22 in the third and 17–8 in the fourth to seal the win. The Dragons' physicality in the paint and relentless depth proved overwhelming, resulting in a 27-point separation by the final horn.

Key Performers

Lane's balanced attack was a major storyline, with six players scoring eight or more points and 43 points coming from the bench.

  • Europe Brown led the Dragons with 14 points, adding four rebounds and delivering timely buckets during the second- and third-quarter runs.

  • Lauren Lain also scored 14 points, going 6-for-12 from the field while collecting five rebounds and three steals.

  • Madison Thomas provided a third double-figure effort with 14 points off the bench, sparking momentum at multiple stretches.

  • Ceriah Evans added 8 points and a team-high 9 rebounds, while Kameria Piggee and Jeurnei Wright combined for 14 points and 8 rebounds and brought high-energy defensive pressure.

Lane dominated the interior all afternoon, scoring 60 points in the paint and 30 second-chance points while posting a decisive 45–24 rebounding advantage.

Turning Point

After a competitive first quarter that ended 19–14 in favor of Lane, the Dragons seized control behind a huge second-period run. Multiple defensive stops led to transition layups, and the bench fueled a 15–4 stretch to extend the lead into double digits. Savannah State never pulled closer than 10 the rest of the way.

The third quarter featured the knockout punch — fast-break offense and elite execution at the rim. Lain, Brown and Thomas combined for 20 points in the frame, and Lane led 68–50 heading into the fourth. The Dragons then slammed the door with a 17–8 final period highlighted by Thomas' three-pointer and back-to-back paint scores.
