GAFFNEY, S.C.- Converse dropped its regular season finale against nationally ranked Limestone in Conference Carolinas action on Tuesday evening. Limestone's 45.1% shooting from the floor and 12 three-pointers led the Saints past the Valkyries 90-61.
Converse (4-22, 3-19) was led by freshman Logan Hollis (Spartanburg, S.C.) posting a career-high 19 points on 70% (7-10) shooting from the floor.
