[February 19, 2020]    Lincoln to play Springfield Lanphier on Thursday night at 7 p.m. at Roy S. Anderson Gymnasium

 

The Lady Railers took care of business in a big way on Tuesday night and defeated Springfield High School 61-55 in regional basketball action.

It was obvious the seniors were not ready for the season to end as senior Leah Schnieder led Lincoln with 22 points and fellow senior Madelyn Koehler tallied 21 points for the Lady Railers.

Lincoln played a phenomenal game and ran out to a 17-8 first quarter lead.

The Lady Railers lead was 34-16 at the half with Schneider already dominating the game with 16 points herself. With Koehler pouring the points on in the third quarter the score was 49-36 in favor of Lincoln.

Koehler and Schneider refused to let up in the fourth quarter and with buckets from Cadence Presswood and a free throw from Ava Gorens adding to the offense, the Lady Railers took the 61-55 win over Springfield.

Lincoln advances to the regional championship game at home on Thursday night at 7 p.m. The Lady Railers will take on Springfield Lanphier in the title game.

The three-point competition will take place at 5:30 p.m.

Please come out and support your Lady Railers in this rematch with Springfield Lanphier.
