LWC Women's Basketball set for MSC Quarterfinals

By Brady Budke

A 25-5 overall record and 13-3 mark in Mid-South Conference play earned the No. 13-ranked Lindsey Wilson women's basketball team the No. 2 overall seed in the Mid-South Conference tournament being played in Bowling Green, Kentucky on March 6-9. The No. 2 seed will put LWC up against No. 7 seeded Georgetown (KY) at 5:30pmCT at the Bowling Green High School Arena.

The Blue Raiders successfully won the conference seeding tiebreaker over Shawnee State (Ohio) who also finished with a 13-3 conference mark because of a regular season sweep over the Bears.



The two earlier meetings this season have both gone in favor of the Blue Raiders. On Jan. 25, LWC hit the century mark scoring en route to a 100-63 road victory over the Tigers. On Feb. 20, Lindsey Wilson claimed an 80-70 victory at Biggers Sports Center.

The LWC women's basketball team is heavily influenced by the starting-five of Reagan Turner, J'Nayah Hall, Jynea Harris, Maleigha Oldham, and DeAsia Outlaw. In the squads last outing against Cumberlands (Ky.), the starters accounted for 74 of the 76 total points scored in the win.

Turner works as the top scoring threat, averaging the MSC best 19.1 points per game while exploding for a 24.5 points per game average over her last four outings. Turner needs just 14 points to successfully move into fourth all-time scoring in LWC women's basketball history.

Outlaw serves as an anchor on both ends of the floor for the Blue Raiders. She leads her team in rebounds per game (7.7), steals per game (2.5), and blocks per game (2.0). Outlaw leads the MSC with her blocks per game average and ranks third with her rebounds per game average.

The duo of Hall and Harris brings double-digit scoring averages and over 40 percent shooting to the floor for LWC. The duo ranks second and third behind Outlaw for total team rebounds this season, with Hall having grabbed 179 boards while Harris has 173. Oldham rounds out the starting-five having corralled double-digit scoring outings in four straight games on an average of 40.5 percent shooting in that span of play.

The Georgetown women's basketball team (14-15, 5-11 MSC) is led in scoring this season by Kennedy Flynn at 11.3 points per game. Flynn had a career game against the Blue Raiders on Feb. 20, notching 30 points while drilling home seven three-pointers in the loss. Madison Darnell leads GC with five double-doubles this season while averaging 9.3 points per game and 6.6 rebounds per game.

The Tigers are shooting the MSC low of 39.6 percent from the field while averaging 70.7 points per game. GC also ranks as the bottom team in the conference allowing 41.2 rebounds per game to opponents while being minus 2.97 in the rebounding category. On defense, Georgetown is allowing an average of 71 points per matchup.

Live stats and video will be available for the game. Tipoff is slated for 5:30pmCT from the Bowling Green High School Arena.
