            Conway, Ark. – Wrapping up their three-game American Midwest Conference homestand this week, Central Baptist College women's basketball hosted the Hornets of Harris-Stowe State this afternoon on homecoming in A.R. Reddin Fieldhouse. CBC (3-7, 2-3 AMC) never trailed, scoring 43 seconds into the game and cruised to a 72-46 win over HSSU (3-7, 1-3 AMC).

            Olivia Lambrigtsen led four Mustangs in double figures, which included Aliya Grotjohn, Lydia York and Caroline Citty. The Lady Mustangs were plus-eight on the glass and forced 19 HSSU turnovers which they converted into 25 points.

GAME FLOW

            York gave CBC a 3-0 lead 43 seconds into the game and the Lady Mustangs set sail from there, leading 21-12 after a quarter. The lead got all the way to 21 with 3:53 left in the second and CBC would take a 42-23 lead into halftime. Lambrigtsen made the first three field goals of the third quarter, sandwiched around two free throws from York, and CBC pushed the lead to 61-36 at the end of three. The lead reached its co-largest margin of the game, 26 points, with 8:09 left and the scoring would finish 6-6 the rest of the way.
