BASKETBALL: LCS Girls Stay Undefeated In Rivalry Game With Lutheran

LINCOLN–(KLMS Dec. 9)–For the first time in two years, the Lincoln Christian girls basketball team managed to get a win over cross-town rival Lincoln Lutheran.

The Crusaders took off to a 22-7 first quarter lead and never looked back in their 63-37 victory Friday night over the Warriors in a game heard on ESPN Lincoln at the LCS gym.

The key for Christian (4-0) was managing an uptempo approach early and often to move the ball down court and find easy baskets in transition.    The Crusaders jumped out to an 8-2 lead in the first two minutes of the game.  Most of the scoring early came from Kenadee Ailes, who finished with a game-high 22 points to lead Christian.  Lauren Swan scored six of her ten points for the Crusaders during the first quarter.

Christian led 40-19 at halftime before taking a 46-28 lead after three quarters.  Jessa Hueser added 12 points and Mattie Kassebaum also chipped in 10 points in the win.

Veteran guard Jami Wahl scored a team-high 12 points in the loss for Lutheran.
