FULTON, MO. - Tonight the Principia College women's basketball team traveled to Fulton, MO to face the Lady Blue Jays of Westminster College in their second meeting of the season.  Westminster took control of the game from the opening tip, steadily giving the Panthers more than they could handle at both ends of the floor.  Up 18 at halftime, the Blue Jays continued their fundamental play which allowed them to keep a comfortable handle on the game, and while Principia showed brief spurts of solid Panther basketball, on this evening Westminster was the better squad.  Junior forward Kara Johnson was the lone Panther in double digits, scoring 26 points on 11-20 shooting.  Senior captain Karina Olsen snagged 11 boards, and freshman guard Yulia Marquardt dished out a game high 5 assists.  

The Panthers are back in action at home this coming Saturday, January 31st, versus conference opponent Eureka College.  Tip-off is scheduled for 1:00 pm.
