Basketball Thriller: LWC Women, 68. Campbellsville Ladies, 66 Kayla Richardson's last second layup lifts No. 19 Lindsey Wilson Women's Basketball over No. 5 Campbellsville Ladies Basketball. 68-66 Victory snaps the Blue Raiders' 11-game losing streak against Tigers Next: Lindsey Wilson Women's Basketball hosts St. Catharine at 2pmCT/3pmET, Sat 6 Dec 2014, at Biggers Sports Center, 360 Spickard Drive, Columbia, KY Click on headline for full story From Lindsey Wilson College COLUMBIA, KY - Kayla Richardson scored on a driving layup with 0.6 second remaining in regulation and converted the free-throw attempt after to cap a 68-66 come-from-behind victory for the 19th-ranked Lindsey Wilson women's basketball team over fifth-ranked Campbellsville University Ladies on Thursday night, 4 Dec 2014 at Biggers Sports Center, 360 Spickard Drive, Columbia, KY. Trailing by one at 66-65, Richardson received the inbounds pass near her own baseline with 7.1 seconds to play. She went coast-to-coast and put up a layup as she was falling to her right, making the basket and drawing the foul. She converted the ensuing free throw and a final deep inbounds pass by the Tigers was tipped away to secure the win. Playing in their first home game in nearly a month, the Blue Raiders (7-2, 1-2 Mid-South Conference) claimed both their first MSC victory this season as well as their first win in 12 head-to-head matchups against the visiting Tigers (10-1, 3-1 MSC). Since defeating Campbellsville at Biggers Sports Center by a 60-48 score back on February19, 2009, Lindsey Wilson had dropped each of the 11 subsequent meetings against Campbellsville over the past five seasons before tonight's comeback win. During the opening stages of the game, the Blue Raiders hit their first three shots from the floor to assume an early 7-2 edge following Chanel Roberts' successful three-point attempt. After a three-point basket by Richardson, Lindsey Wilson moved ahead by a 15-8 margin with 14:25 left in the first half. Following a mid-range jump shot by Roberts at the 11:40 mark that gave the Blue Raiders a 17-10 lead, the Tigers scored seven-straight points to tie the game, 17-17, at the 9:48 mark. Over the next two-plus minutes, the teams went back and forth, and the action was tied at 23-23 after Grider hit the front end of a one-and-one free-throw sequence with 7:11 remaining in the first half. Lindsey Wilson held a slim 24-23 advantage when the Tigers scored five-consecutive points in rapid succession to move ahead, 28-24. Campbellsville appeared to again gain some separation following a layup by Chelsea Craig with 25 seconds remaining until halftime that made it 32-28 in favor of the Tigers. The Blue Raiders, however, managed to score the final basket of the opening half as Bre Elder hauled in a pass in the near-side corner from Ashley Johnson and successfully converted a three-pointer with nine seconds left. At halftime, Campbellsville led by a 32-31 margin. In the first half alone, the Tigers held a 22-to-16 edge in rebounding and turned the ball over only eight times. Campbellsville had 11 steals and scored 15 points off of Lindsey Wilson turnovers. Additionally, the Tigers claimed an 18-to-10 advantage over the Blue Raiders in terms of points scored in the paint, and outscored Lindsey Wilson on second-chance points by a 10-to-5 margin. The Campbellsville bench outscored the Blue Raiders' bench by a 10-to-2 margin. Despite 16 first-half turnovers, Lindsey Wilson hung tight with Campbellsville in part due to shooting exactly 50.0 percent in the opening 20 minutes (11-of-22). Included in that percentage was a 4-of-10 success rate from three-point range (.400). In comparison, the Tigers hit 37.1 percent of their shots from the floor (13-of-35), including one-of-eight three-point attempts (.125). Richardson had 10 points on three-of-four shooting, including a two-of-three performance from three-point range, and two free throws. She also had a pair of steals. Bllie Hearn hauled in a team-high four rebounds for Lindsey Wilson in the opening frame. In the second half, the Blue Raiders faced as large as a 12-point deficit as Campbellsville began converting a series of three-point shots. Over the course of more than five minutes, Owen hit a pair of three-pointers, and Lexxus Graham and Clements also converted from distance for the Tigers. After scoring in the paint while drawing a foul by a Blue Raider defender, Craig completed a three-point sequence for Campbellsville with a free-throw to make it 59-47 in favor of Campbellsville with 8:39 remaining. In the final eight-and-a-half minutes of play, Lindsey Wilson converted six-of-eight shots from the field as well as 8-of-12 free-throw attempts. Following a defensive team rebound for the Blue Raiders, a timeout was called from the Lindsey Wilson bench with 7.1 seconds on the clock and the Tigers ahead, 66-65. Richardson's driving runner of a layup from the right side of the paint rattled around the hoop and fell as she absorbed contact from a Tiger defender, giving Lindsey Wilson a 67-66 advantage with 0.6 second remaining. After a Campbellsville timeout, Richardson hit her subsequent free-throw attempt to account for the game's final score. For the night, the Tigers held a 42-to-31 edge over the Blue Raiders in rebounding. In spite of ending the game with 23 turnovers, the Blue Raiders kept things close as they shot 52.3 percent from the field (23-of-44) and knocked down 17 free throws. Richardson led all players with 20 points and also paced Lindsey Wilson with two assists and three steals. She shot five-of-eight from the floor, including a pair of three-pointers, and converted all eight of her free-throw attempts. Roberts totaled 19 points on 7-of-10 shooting and added three rebounds and a pair of steals for the Blue Raiders. Hearn scored just two points, but led Lindsey Wilson with eight rebounds and two blocks. For Campbellsville, Craig shot 7-of-11 for a team-high 16 points. She also led the Tigers with nine rebounds to go along with three steals. Owen finished with 10 points and six rebounds, and Clements also scored 10 points. Jacob had nine points and seven rebounds. Grider totaled a game-high seven assists, and Burd led all players with five steals. This story was posted on 2014-12-05 02:11:05
