The Orange women’s basketball team has lived on the road for the past month. It’s last home game came against Eastern Alamance on January 23. Since then, the Lady Panthers have played in Burlington, Roxboro, Graham, Elon, at Cedar Ridge and in Durham. On Monday night, Orange never trailed in a wire-to-wire win over the Durham School of the Arts at venerable Sykes Gymnasium.
