Erik Holth, CBC Sports Information Director

            Hannibal, Mo. – On the road for the first time in six games, Central Baptist College women's basketball took on the Trojans of Hannibal-LaGrange tonight at the Mabee Sports Complex in an American Midwest Conference tilt. CBC (4-14, 3-9 AMC) never trailed, racing out to a 12-0 lead before cruising to a 65-30 win over HLGU (5-14, 1-11 AMC) to sweep the season series from the Trojans.

            Every single player scored for the Mustangs, led by 12 from Caroline Citty, 11 from Aliya Grotjohn and 10 from Rhys Anderson. Citty also became just the fifth Mustang ever with seven steals in a game as CBC shot 35 percent from the floor and held HLGU to just 20 percent from the field.

GAME FLOW

            Following the opening 12-0 lead over the first 5:02, CBC continued to shoot well, leading 22-8 after one quarter. The Lady Mustangs then opened the second quarter on a 10-0 run and led 32-8 with 4:52 left in the half. CBC would lead by as much as 26 in the quarter and take a 38-14 lead into halftime. The lead never dropped below 25 again as CBC forced 30 Trojan turnovers to seal the win.

NEXT UP

            CBC heads to St. Louis on Saturday afternoon for an AMC clash with the Hornets of Harris-Stowe State. Tipoff from the Emerson Performance Center is slated for 1 p.m.
