The Lady Bisons basketball team lost to the Belmont Bruins 90-68 in the annual Battle of the Boulevard Wednesday night in Allen Arena.
“They got out to a great start,” head coach Greg Brown said. “I thought we held our composure and came back until they went on a great run in the third period.”
The Lady Bisons were held scoreless as Belmont went on a 15-0 run during the third period. Lipscomb committed five turnovers during their scoring drought.
“We missed too many shots that we normally make,” Brown said. “When they are shooting the way they shot today, it can be hard to keep up. We’ve got to hit the open shots and they just weren’t falling today.”
Senior Ashley Southern led the Lady Bisons in scoring with 23 points and the defense was able to enforce 21 turnovers from the Bruins during the course of the game.
“We had times where we played really good defensively, but we need to have that intensity more consistently,” Brown said. “I’m glad we get a few more games at home coming up and I think we will have a great environment in these games here at home.”
The Lady Bisons will face off against Morehead State on Dec. 5 at 1:30 p.m. in Allen Arena. The game will be streamed on ESPN3.
