The Lady Knights got out to quick lead, 9-4, in the first quarter of their game against Lincolnview and led by nine points, 32-23, heading into the final quarter of play. But the Lady Lancers weren\u2019t quite done, as they outscored Crestview 15-10 in the final stanza to give the Knights a bad moment or two before finally falling, 42-38.<\/p>\n

Lincolnview\u2019s Katie Dye led all scorers with 17 points, while the Knights had two players in double figures: Maddie Preston, with 14 points, and Danica Hicks, with 13 markers.<\/p>\n

Both teams shot reasonably well from the field, with Crestview making 16 of 38 field goal attempts (42.1 percent) and the Lancers hitting 15 of 35 for a 42.9 percent field goal success ratio. Free throw shooting was a key to the game, as the Knights hit 9 of 15 free throw attempts (60 percent), while Lincolnview made just 5 of 16 from the line (31.3 percent).<\/p>\n

Both teams had 16 turnovers in the game, while Crestview had the edge in rebounding, 13-11. The Knights also had 14 points in the paint, compared to 8 for Lincolnview.<\/p>\n

At Van Wert, Lady Cougar Alex Morrow was the only player on either team in double figures, scoring 11 on the night, the Elida still won the game, 39-33, thanks in part to another less-than-stellar offensive effort on the part of the Cougars. Katie Smith led Elida with 9 points.<\/p>\n

Van Wert led 8-6 at the end of the first quarter and was up 19-15 at the half. But a bad third quarter did in the Cougars, as they were outscored 13-4 to trail by five points, 28-23, heading into the final stanza. Elida won the game on free-throw shooting, making 16 of 26 at the line (61.5 percent), while Van Wert hit only 2 of 8 free-throw attempts (25 percent).<\/p>\n

Elida is now 2-7 overall and 1-2 in the WBL, while the Lady Cougars are 2-8 overall and 0-3 in league play.<\/p>\n

The Cougar junior varsity team also lost, 33-27, and is also 2-8 on the year.<\/p>\n
