CEDARVILLE, Ohio
-- The Madonna women's basketball team dropped their second
consecutive game as 13th-ranked Bryan (TN) defeated MU, 69-55, on
Saturday afternoon in the consolation game at the Cedarville
Invitational Tournament.
The Crusaders were led by
Christie Carrico
(Waterford, Mich./Waterford Mott HS), who scored 14 points
and grabbed five rebounds.
Junior forward
Martina Franklin
(Redford, Mich./Redford Union HS) recorded 10 points and a
team high 10 rebounds, while
junior guard
Lauhnna Waybrant
(Ortonville, Mich./Brandon HS) tallied 10 points and six
rebounds for MU.
Madonna led by as much as seven points in the first half, but the
Lions battled back to take a 37-32 lead at halftime. The
Crusaders would get as close as two points in the second half
despite shooting only 28% from the field before Bryan pulled away
for the 14-point victory.
The Lions shot 47% from beyond the three-point line, including a 53%
performance from beyond the arc in the second half.
Madonna's offensive rebounding woes on Friday night versus Indiana
Wesleyan were overcome with 16 boards on the offensive end of the
court against Bryan.
The Crusaders fall to 1-2 on the young season with both losses
coming to ranked opponents. Madonna will return to action on
Wednesday, Nov. 8 in a 6:00 p.m. (ET) non-conference tilt with
former WHAC foe Spring Arbor in the Activities Center.
