Basketball:  LC Women Pick Up Win Number 20

[February 06, 2018] 

The Lincoln College Women’s Basketball team kept up their winning ways on Saturday by defeating the visiting Lewis & Clark College Trailblazers 80-59. The win is the 20th of the season for LC against only one loss.

Evanston Township High School grad Allysah Boothe led the Lady Lynx in scoring with 23 points and she added 7 assists. Freshman Kaleia Monteiro (Rockford) recorded a double-double with 12 points and 16 rebounds while fellow Rockford native Elizabeth Bankole had a terrific all-around performance with 8 points, 6 rebounds and 5 blocks. Sophomore Nautica Preston (Chicago) poured in 14 points and had two steals in the game

Head Coach Matt Vavro liked the way his players responded to early pressure from L &C who jumped out to an 8-0 lead. “I had a feeling they were going to come out ready to play coming off a loss,” said Vavro. “I thought we settled in and played aggressively on defense. We shared the ball well and finished with 19 assists.”

The win moves Lincoln to 3-0 in Conference play and a 5-0 record against Region 24 opponents.

LC will be in action next at 5:30 PM on February 7th for an away game at Lincoln Land Community College.
