[November 19, 2018]    The Lincoln College Women’s Basketball team put on an impressive performance to defeat the visiting Bethel College Pilots (NAIA) on Friday evening. LC grabbed the lead just minutes into the first quarter and held it the rest of the game for a 64-56 victory.

 

The win was the second of the season for the Lady Lynx and improves the team’s record to 2-5 on the season.

Lincoln’s Nautica Preston, a 5’4” junior guard from Chicago, Illinois, led all scorers with 28 points and she pulled down six rebounds. Sophomore forward Kaleia Monteiro (Rockford) recorded a double-double with 18 points and 14 rebounds. Monteiro also pitched in on the defensive end with five steals and three blocked shots.

Coach Deronte Polite saw great team-chemistry on the floor in this game. “We won a very tough game tonight. I was proud of my team’s effort and execution of the game plan,” said Coach Polite. “Nautica and Kaleia were highlights in the box score, but it was a total team effort,” he added. “Samantha Realford gave us great minutes off the bench, and we had at least one assist from seven of the nine players that played tonight—which represents how we want to play the game.”

Lincoln’s next game will be on November 21st when they travel to Indiana to take on Indiana University East (NAIA) at 7:00 PM.
