Box Score Box ScoreAustin, TX - The Louisiana College Lady Wildcats closed out their final weekend of 2014 with a disappointing 73-67 loss to the Concordia Tornadoes on Saturday afternoon in Austin, TX.
Â
The Lady Cats looked as if they were ready to shake the second half trouble that they found themselves in on Thursday night against Mary Hardin-Baylor, as LC started the first half out strong on the road against a tough Concordia team.
Â
Sophomore Brianna Harris' jumper off a Latoya Evans assist at the 10:35 mark of the first half gave LC a 21-18 lead and some much-needed early momentum.
Â
But three straight baskets by the Tornadoes, including back-to-back three-pointers from Emily Cullers and Camile Horman, over the next 70 seconds quickly gave Concordia a 26-21 and seized all the momentum that the Lady Cats had previously gained.
Â
LC would not hold a lead the rest the way.
Â
Concordia stretched that lead out to as much as 10 points at the 4:43 mark when they took a 36-26 advantage and went to the half leading 43-38.
Â
The Tornadoes would control the rest of the game in the second half, as the Lady cats never got closer than three points during the final 20 minutes.
Â
Senior center
Danisha Allison led LC again with another strong double-double performance, finishing with 13 points, 14 rebounds, and three steals, all of which were team-highs for the Lady Cats.
Â
Concordia had five players score in double figures, led by reserve player Isis Johnson, who finished with a game-high 17 points.
Â
The two losses on the three day road trip dropped LC's overall record to 5-2 with a 2-2 mark in ASC play. The Lady Wildcats next game will be their first home game in the newly renovated H.O. West Fieldhouse on January 3
rd against Hardin-Simmons at 1 p.m.
