LWC now moves to 6-1 on the season, while USF drops to 6-2.<\/p>\n<p>The Blue Raiders went a stellar 15-of-23 shooting from behind the arc (65.2%) with just 20 made field goals in the game. Sydnie Hall led the deep ball shooting for LWC with five makes off the bench.<\/p>\n<p>Reagan Turner tallied a team-high 21 points today while adding five rebounds, five assists, and four 3-pointers. Hall trailed behind with 17 points alongside her five makes from behind the arc. Bree Glover notched 12 points with 10 made free throws and seven rebounds. Jordyn Stephens went a perfect 3-of-3 from deep for nine points, while Rose Mary Jackson grabbed a team-best nine boards while scoring seven points.<\/p>\n<p>Saint Francis was led in scoring by Reganne Pate who garnered 15 points off the bench. As a team, USF shot 40 percent from the field in the loss (22-of-55).<\/p>\n<p>The first quarter began slow for both squads, but favored LWC by a slim 9-8 advantage with just under five minutes remaining. The Blue Raiders turned up the heat by completing an 11-3 run to build a more comfortable upper hand. However, USF would drill back-to-back 3-pointers at the end of the quarter to make the score 20-17 in favor of Lindsey Wilson after one.<\/p>\n<p>Both teams opened the second quarter answering each other on the offensive end of the floor. Thankful for the first quarter lead, the Blue Raiders were able to secure a slim 31-28 edge with under four minutes left. However, Lindsey Wilson caught fire from behind the arc to end the half on three straight 3-pointers from Hall, Stephens, and Turner to carry a 40-34 lead into the locker room. Turner led the first half scoring with 10 points, while Glover and Hall sat behind with eight points apiece.<\/p>\n<p>The Lady Cougars opened the second half forcefully, completing a punishing 7-0 run to regain the lead with 7:37 remaining in the quarter. However, Lindsey Wilson refused to fold in the moment by keeping the game close as play progressed. LWC corralled a huge momentum swing with four free throw makes from Jackson and a pair of 3-pointers from Hall and Turner down the stretch to give the team a 56-51 lead with one quarter remaining.<\/p>\n<p>Lindsey Wilson kept control and eventually secured the 10-point win with a strong fourth quarter shooting the ball. The team made four 3-pointers and never allowed Saint Francis to regain its footing. The Blue Raiders conclude the Julie Costello Memorial Classic going a perfect 2-0.<\/p>\n<p>The Lindsey Wilson women&#8217;s basketball team returns to action on Thursday, Dec. 3 to face off against No. 14 Thomas More (Ky.) at Biggers Sports Center beginning at 5:30 p.m. CT.<\/p>\n<!--CusAds0-->\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LWC Athletics Chris Wells CRESTVIEW HILLS\u00a0&#8211; The 3-point shooting was strong and favorable for the Lindsey Wilson women&#8217;s basketball team today at the Julie Costello Memorial<span class=\"excerpt-hellip\"> [\u2026]<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1024,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[276,23,12],"tags":[88,346,277,344,348,347],"class_list":["post-1153","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-lindsey-wilson","category-top-news","category-womens-basketball","tag-basketball","tag-bree-glover","tag-lindsey-wilson","tag-reagan-turner","tag-rose-mary-jackson","tag-st-francis"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kentuckysports.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1153","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kentuckysports.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kentuckysports.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kentuckysports.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kentuckysports.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1153"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/kentuckysports.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1153\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1155,"href":"https:\/\/kentuckysports.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1153\/revisions\/1155"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kentuckysports.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/1024"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kentuckysports.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1153"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kentuckysports.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1153"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kentuckysports.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1153"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
