            Conway, Ark. – Looking to rebound from a loss on Tuesday night, Central Baptist College women's basketball hosted the Owls of William Woods University tonight at A.R. Reddin Fieldhouse. CBC (12-12, 4-10 AMC) led for three quarters, but was outscored 22-8 in the fourth to fall 55-48 to William Woods (9-16, 6-9 AMC).

            Aminata Seck led the way with 16 points while Alexis Augustus chipped in with 15 off the bench. CBC won the rebounding battle 46-31 but were held to just 31 percent shooting from the field, making just 4-11 at the free-throw line.
