The Lady Lynx played Clarke closely in the
first quarter and started the second period down by just one
point (21-21). However, Clarke managed to outscore Lincoln 20-10
in the second quarter to take a commanding lead into halftime.
LC was unable to chip away at that lead in the second half and
had to settle for the 19-point defeat.
Lincoln Sophomore forward Kaliea Monteiro (Rockford) recorded
another double-double with 14 points and 10 rebounds. Junior
guard Nautica Preston (Chicago) led her team in points scored
with 19. Junior Erynn Young (Indianaplois, IN) also reached
double-digits in scoring with 12 points.
Lincoln Head Coach DeRonte Polite was proud of his team’s
performance against a strong opponent. “"I really like the
energy and effort we played with tonight,” said Polite. “We had
to work for everything we got tonight, and I hope we can have
this mentality as we finish out the season. I do not like
losing, but I appreciate what I saw from my team tonight."
The Lady Lynx will try to start another winning streak on
Saturday when they host Silver Lake College at 1:00 PM.
