The Lincoln College women's basketball
team was unable to handle Carl Sandburg in action here Tuesday night
as the visitors posted a 73-60 victory.
Lincoln College held an 18-16 lead at
the halfway point of the first half; however, Carl Sandburg
outscored the Lynx 18-7 over the final 10 minutes to take control of
the game.

while Kanisha Pettis and Eric Ernst each had 10 to lead the Lady

with 15 of 29.
