CENTRALIA -- A poor first half was too
much for Lincoln College to overcome, as they dropped a 52-48
decision to Southwestern Illinois Community College in women's
basketball action here Saturday at the Kaskaskia Classic.
The Lynx, 1-2, were able to manage just
14 first-half points, while Southwestern was tossing in 29 to take a
comfortable lead to the locker room. Lincoln College rebounded in
the second half and outscored the winners 34-23 but was unable to
overcome the deficit.
Kanisha Pettis, with nine points, was
top gun for the Lynx. Brittany Ingram and Becky Spears each added
eight points.
Southwestern could have won by a larger
margin had they made free throws, as the winners connected on just
11 of 25 tries.
On Sunday afternoon Kaskaskia handed
the Lynx a 68-48 loss. With the setback, Lincoln College falls to
1-3 for the season.
Nicole White, with 11 points, was the
lone LC player to reach double figures. Kaskaskia was led by Foppe,
who hit five 3-pointers for her 15 points.
Kaskaskia
jumped out to an early 21-6 lead in the first 10 minutes of action,
and the hosts maintained a 35-23 lead at halftime. The Lady Lynx
were limited to 14 field goals, while the winners connected 26 times
from the floor.
