This is for the regular season championship and a first-round bye in the Big South tournament. The Lady Flames own a 27-game win streak against the Eagles.

We trail 28-22 after an ugly first half. The big news is that with Moriah out and both of her sisters on the bench with 2 fouls, Egle saw her first action of the year, and played several minutes, but did not score. Rachel Hammond leading the way with 9 points. Winthrop's live stats have been frozen since the 11 minute mark.

trailing 28-22 at halftime. LU with 14 first half turnovers and WU with four more shot attempts and not playing good defense in the paint. The majority of WU points are in the paint. hopefully we will step up to the plate and win this game in the second half and overall.
