Lady Lynx Fall at Home to ONU

[December 06, 2018] 

The Lincoln College Women’s Basketball team was defeated at home on Tuesday evening by the visiting Olivet-Nazarene University Tigers 112-84.

LC trailed by just three points after a high-scoring first quarter (30-27). The second quarter saw ONU continue to find success on the offensive side of the court, but LC was unable to keep up and went into the halftime break down 60-44.

In the third quarter, Lincoln again kept pace with the Tigers and played them nearly evenly, but Olivet outscored Lincoln by 11 in the fourth quarter to seal the 28-point victory.

LC’s Kaleia Monteiro, a sophomore forward from Rockford, Illinois, turned in an impressive performance. Monteiro pulled off a double-double, leading the team in scoring with 24 points and tied for the lead in rebounds with 10.

Sophomore guard Whitney Gines (Cahokia) also had 10 rebounds, while Emoni Smith (Indianapolis, IN) and Nautica Preston (Chicago) each scored 14 points.

Lincoln (4-7) will try to bounce back from the setback against ONU on Wednesday with a 5:30 PM road game at St. Ambrose University (NAIA) in Davenport, Iowa.
