The Lady Lions (8-11, 4-8 MIAA) quick fourth quarter start broke open a tight game that saw them lead by two after each of the first three quarters. Each team’s largest lead up to that point had been five points.

The Tigers (15-5, 6-5 MIAA) held Lindenwood without a field goal over the final six and-a-half minutes but could only get as close as five in the final 10 seconds.

Jill Faxon came off the bench for the second straight game and led the Tigers with 13 points. Emma Stroyan recorded her first double-double with 12 points and 10 rebounds. Carly Heim, who made her second straight start, added 11.

Lindenwood was led by freshman Lindsey Medlen and senior Alex Haley who both scored 16.
