The Lipscomb women’s basketball team lost to Ball State Thursday night 72-60 in Allen Arena.
Sophomore Loren Cagle and senior Ashley Southern led the Bisons with 17 points each.
“I thought they were both aggressive and very unselfish,” head coach Greg Brown said. “I really liked our effort and intensity. If our team plays like we did tonight, we have a chance to be pretty good this season.”
The leading scorer for Ball State was Nathalie Fontaine. Fontaine scored 28 total points total for the team.
“She is a tough player,” Brown said. “We knew she was their leading scorer and that is why we tried to be really physical against her as best as we could. She is a senior and played like one against us.
“I think our kids responded well. Ball State is a very good team. We controlled the things we could, but our team played really well.”
Lipscomb’s next opponent will be TSU at 3 p.m. Sunday at Tennessee State.
