Women's Basketball:  Lady Lynx Roll Over Silver Lake 90-55

[January 29, 2019] 

The Lincoln College Women’s Basketball team won in convincing fashion on Saturday afternoon. LC used a 30-point first quarter offensive performance to open up a big lead. The Lady Lynx only gave up eight points to the visiting team from Silver Lake College in the opening period then cruised to a 35-point victory which improved the team’s record on the season to 11-12.

Four players for Lincoln scored in double-digits in this game with Chicago native Nautica Preston leading the way. Preston went 7-for-12 from the field including hitting five three-pointers to total a team-high 20 points. Sophomore Kaleia Monteiro (Rockford) recorded another double-double with 18 points and 10 rebounds. Indianapolis, Indiana natives Erynn Young and Emoni Smith were the other two players with ten or more points. Young scored 14 while Smith was good for 10.

Lincoln Head Coach DeRonte Polite appreciates the effort his players are putting into the season. “Earlier this week we lost and I was proud of them. Today we won and I am proud of them,” said Polite. “We always want a winning outcome, but we are trying to become more focused on the process each and every day. Win or lose, we judge ourselves by the process and we are becoming more consistent at performing all of the many processes it takes to give us the best opportunity to win games.”

Next up for Lincoln is a road game on January 30th at Indiana University Northwest in Gary, Indiana. Game time is 5:30 PM.
