The second seeded Louisburg College women's basketball team earned the program's third national title, March 23rd, as they knocked off top seeded Mesa CC (Arizona) at the 2013 NJCAA Tournament.

The Lady 'Canes trailed by eight, 28-36, at the half but a move to man-to-man defense and solid work on the boards proved to be the difference in a second half that was all LC. Louisburg forced 19 MCC turnovers and only made three of their own. Those turnovers turned into 17 points for Louisburg and the Thunderbirds didn't score any points off of 'Canes' miscues.

Justin Taylor (Gastonia, NC/Ashbrook HS) led the Lady 'Canes in scoring as dropped 19 in the championship game. Louisburg dominated the boards late in the second half and out-rebounded Mesa 51-41 in the game. Latrice Phelps (Virginia Beach, VA/Tallwood HS) led the way on the glass for the 'Canes as she swiped ten boards and earned a double-double, scoring 13 points.

Guards, Tiffany Johnson (Philadelphia, PA/Prep Charter) and Olivia Gaines (Chester, SC, Chester HS) also hit for double-digits as Johnsons scored 15, while Gaines scored ten including some big free throws in the final minute of the ballgame.

The Lady 'Canes wrap up the 2012-13 season with a final record of 32-3.
