Lincoln Land forced 27 turnovers from Danville, and won the rebound battle 31-27. The Loggers shot 34-57 from the field for 60%, also going 7-17 from the 3 point line for 41%. LLCC went 9-16 from the free throw line for 56%.
"We got off to a great start today. Defensively we forced a lot of turnovers early which led to a lot of transition baskets," said Coach Gary Albert. "Our half court sets were really effective in the first quarter, we had great ball movement and we were able to knock down some shots when we had opportunities. Molly Smith and Hannah Cameron hit some big 3's for us throughout the game, which opened a lot of opportunities for Bella Fisher and Hannah Krukewitt in the paint. It's always hard to win conference games on the road so today was a very good performance for our team," Albert added.Â
