[December 31, 2015]  MOUNT PULASKI - December 29th – The Lady Toppers faced the hosting Tri-City Tornados Tuesday evening and came up on the short end at the final buzzer.

The Tornados put together a nice combination of inside and outside offense, and a stifling box and one for the win 56 – 24.

The Lady Toppers were led in scoring by Ainsley Chandler with 7, followed by Skylar Hayes 6, Alyssa Bridge 5, Hailey Moore 3, Emily Wakeman 2, and Breanna Rentmeister 1. Hayes also had 6 rebounds on the night.

December 30th – The Lady Toppers found themselves in a third place battle Wednesday night against the Roxanna Shells.

The Shells only had three field goals on the night but kept the game close from the line by shooting 41 free throws.

With only a 5 point lead at half time, the Lady Toppers were scratching their heads and trying to find a way to get things rolling. The Toppers never did catch fire but played steady enough to pull out the third place victory, 48 – 38.
