St. Louis, MO. – The Women's Basketball team traveled to Webster University to play their varsity team. It was a tough night for the Panthers as they lost 31 -98. Webster led right away scoring 30 points in the first quarter. The Panthers had a hard time with Webster's press and unfortunately had 31 turnovers for the night.
A Look into the Box Score:
Webster shot 54% for the game, including nine 3 pt. shots. The Panthers continue to struggle with their shooting percentage, only shooting 23 % from the field. Principia did shoot well from the free throw line, shooting 11 for 14.
Good to know:
Nikki Matters was the high scorer once again for the Panthers with 17 points, while Libby Lewis led the team in rebounds with 6.
They said it:
"This is a game the players wish to forget as they let Webster's good defense and excellent shooting change the way we know to play. We will move on and look forward to our next contest on Tuesday against Westminster."
