Lincoln Christian was put on their heels early as the Archers
swept out to an early lead that stretched to as much as 15
midway through the first half. The Red Lions found their courage
in the latter half of the first half and roared back to tie at
25-25 as they went into the locker room.
In the second half, each team jockeyed for position as the lead
went back and forth three times. LCU pulled out to a comfortable
11-point lead with 10 minutes left in the game, only to have it
closed to another tie. In the final seconds, LCU was able to
stretch out a four point cushion to secure win five on the
season.
The Red Lions depended heavily on their post players tonight.
Center Betty Elliott (SO/Crawfordsville, IN) led the scoring for
the Red Lions with 16, followed closely by Katie Boyce
(FR/Havana, IL) with 13. Elliott pulled in 11 rebounds for the
double-double with Tatiana Colclasure (SR/Effingham, IL)
securing 9 boards and leading in assists with 6.
