quarter, but in the final period, LC caught fire and outscored
SLC 22-4 to put the game out of reach.
Junior Forward Erynn Young (Indianapolis, IN) contributed a
terrific all-around game by scoring a team-high 23 points,
grabbing six rebounds and accounting for three steals. Lincoln
Community High School grad Hannah Cameron had 11 points and
Kaleia Monteiro (Rockford) had 10 points and seven rebounds.
LC Head Coach DeRonte Polite had high praise for his team's
performance. "It was great to end the season with a win," said
Polite. his past week we traveled over 1800 miles to play three
games in six days. Considering the circumstances, we performed
well."
"Today, we had to adjust to the officiating and played more zone
than we had all year. We kept our composure and closed out the
game with a big fourth quarter."
"I am so proud of this team. The transition brought much
adversity but we pushed through and our fans saw us get better
through the year. I believe we have built a culture to help
propel us to greater success in the future. We are excited about
the future of Lincoln College Lady Lynx basketball."
