Shooting Woes Plague Lakers Against Barons

Shooting Woes Plague Lakers Against Barons

Wright State Lake Women's Basketball began the second semester schedule on Monday night at Ohio State Lima. The Barons of OSU Lima used a balance attack against the Lakers, who were once again playing with only 5 women. The Lakers kept the game tight early on, but ultimately the pace of play and lack of bench depth led to a 65-51 defeat to the Lady Barons. 

How It Happened: While the Lakers were able to keep the game close early, offense was difficult to come by, as they trailed at the end of the first quarter by a score of 11-6. Neither team was able to get much going early, as the score was just 25-16 OSU Lima at half. In the second half, the Barons got hot from three, led by LaTrisha Edmonds with 3 made three pointers, as they extended the lead. The Lakers were, again, plagued by missed free throws, going 11-19 from the free throw line. Onyx Lopez led the Lakers with 19 points, including going 5-7 from the free throw line. Additionally, Kelsey Wertz added a solid performace with 18 points, also going 5-7 from the free throw line.

Up Next: Lakers next play in Hamilton against Miami Hamilton on Saturday, January 14th with a 1:00pm tip-off.
