#20 QU Falls to #7 Lewis in First Home Loss Since Feb. 14, 2015

QUINCY, Ill. - The No. 20 Quincy University women's basketball team dropped their first home game since Feb. 14, 2015, to No. 7 Lewis University, 68-62, on Thursday, Feb. 11. QU won 15 straight games in the friendly confines of Pepsi Arena prior to tonight. The Lady Hawks shot 37.7% from the floor and were 6-of-22 from three in the game. Lewis hit 45.8% of their shots, but just 2-of-7 from deep. The Flyers did their damage on the boards grabbing 41 rebounds and converting 14 second chance points.

The Lady Hawks (19-4, 10-4 GLVC) struggled to get the offense rolling in the first five minutes of play. The Flyers (23-1, 14-0 GLVC) held a slim 11-7 lead at the first media timeout.

Anika Webster provided a spark off the bench for the Lady Hawks and she proved to be crucial to keeping QU close in the first half. Webster racked up 12 points on 4-of-5 from the field and 3-of-4 from the line in 12 minutes of play for the first half.

Webster gave the Lady Hawks the lead with eight and a half minutes to play in the second quarter after a three-pointer from the right elbow assisted by Maggie Cunningham. QU took their last lead at the six minute and 22 second mark when Carly Beebe finished a layup.

Lewis went on an eight point run to provide a seven point lead. Lewis would take a 34-27 lead into halftime.

Lewis spread their lead to 12 points with seven minutes and 50 seconds to play in the game. 

Threes by Maggie Cunningham and Carly Beebe, as well as Anika Webster making plays inside, and a full court press that forced Lewis into three turnovers, led Quincy to within four points at 59-55. It was a 12-4 run that pulled the Lady Hawks within two possessions.

The Flyers hit seven free throws down the stretch to keep the Lady Hawks at a far enough distance to earn a 68-62 win.

The Lady Hawks were led by Anika Webster with 17 points. Carly Beebe scored 15 points and led the team with six assists. Maggie Cunningham added 10 points and four assists. Erin Mennemeyer finished with a team-high nine rebounds.

The Flyers were led by Mariyah Brawner-Henley with 28 points and 15 rebounds. Jessica Kelliher finished with 20 points and eight boards. Kayla Brewer scored 10 points including the only two made triples for Lewis.
