The Lady Bisons defeated the Fisk Lady Bulldogs in the second and final exhibition game in Allen Arena Wednesday afternoon.
Lipscomb got on the board first with a jump shot by sophomore Alex Banks. The Lady Bisons never looked back. The final score was 83-66.
Four players scored in double digits for the Lady Bisons while Ashley Southern and Faith LeGate each posted a double-double. Southern, a redshirt sophomore from Tuscumbia, Ala., led the way with 17 points and 14 rebounds. Banks finished with 14 points and nine rebounds. Junior Sara Bliss had six assists on the night.
All 10 players that are healthy got several minutes of playing time and all scored points in the game.
“There are a lot of girls that haven’t played in a college game, so it’s good to see them get comfortable on the court and calm their nerves before the actual season starts,” Banks said.
Stevonna Scott, the Fisk junior from Chattanooga, Tenn., led the game with 35 points.
Rebounds were the key for Lipscomb. The Lady Bisons grabbed 54 rebounds with 20 of them being offensive.
“We just crashed the boards as hard as we could which is what Coach jams into our minds every single day,” Banks said.
Coach Don Meyer was in the stands and talked to the Lady Bisons after the game.
“We all love Coach Meyer like he is our coach, and he is so wise,” Banks said. “It’s so great getting to talk to him.”
The Lady Bisons begin regular season on Nov. 10 against Morehead State in Allen Arena. The game will be streamed on ESPN3.
