After trailing by as many as four in the second half, the Lady Tigers used a 14-3 run to push the lead to nine with just under three minutes to play.

FHSU improves to 14-1 overall and 7-0 in the MIAA where they take over first place following No. 1 Emporia State’s one-point loss at Central Missouri. Lincoln drops to 6-6 and 1-6 in the conference.
