The game was closely contested right from the
opening tip. Southeastern held a one-point lead at the end of
the first quarter and the two teams went into halftime tied at
36. LC appeared to take control of the game by going on an 11-0
run to start the second half, but foul trouble for the Lady Lynx
allowed Southeastern back into the game. LC’s lead was reduced
to four by the end of the third quarter and Southeastern
eventually took the lead and held on down the stretch for a
78-75 victory.
Nautica Preston (Chicago) led LC in scoring with 22 points.
Erynn Young (Indianapolis) had 18 points and Allysah Boothe
(Chicago) scored 16. Kaleia Monteiro (Rockford) had a
double-double with 10 points and 11 rebounds.
The loss drops Lincoln to 12-1 on the season.
LC Coach Matt Vavro was not discouraged by the setback. Vavro
said, “The first half was very close throughout. Foul trouble
really hurt us as we had 3 of our starting 5 with four fouls at
halftime which really hurt us on the boards. The team is looking
forward to hopefully being able to bounce back on Tuesday vs
Black Hawk.”
