[February 02, 2022] Lincoln
welcomed Mount Zion to town on Tuesday night ahead of the big
potential snowstorm and with an early start included, the Lady
Railers made it a short night by defeating the Braves 44-27.
Reese McCuan led the Lady Railers in the first quarter with six points
in the paint and Taryn Stoltzenburg added a three from the corner, which
helped guide Lincoln to a 12-2 first quarter lead.
The Lady Railers were up 21-10 at the half. Getting more confident
driving the lane in the second quarter against the much bigger Braves
were young players like Becca Heitzig and Piper Whiteman. Meanwhile,
McCuan continued to pick up points in the paint for Lincoln.
McCuan continued to play out of her mind in the third quarter. The
senior was having a great game in the paint, pulling down rebounds on
both ends and driving the lane to score. Around the five minute mark in
the third quarter, McCuan had already tossed in 15 points. With Bowman
and Heitzig knocking down shots, the Lady Railers lead was 33-21 as the
third quarter ended.
Bowman scored eight points in the fourth quarter and with Ryen
Stoltzenburg hitting a three of her own, the Lady Railers put the Braves
away rather easily, 44-27 the final score.
