In a tightly contest game from wire to wire, Northeast (Kansas) held on for a 46-43 win over College Heights on Monday.
“Northeast-Arma had a strong second half and played very well, especially making their free throws down the stretch,” College Heights coach John Blankenship said. “We did a poor job of denying their point guard the ball and ended up having to foul her. She hit seven of her last nine free throws. We struggled shooting tonight. We shot 30 percent from the floor and 47 percent from the foul line. Even with good defense, it’s hard to win shooting that poorly.
College Heights was led in scoring by Libby Fanning, who finished with a double-double after scoring 16 points and pulling down 22 rebounds. Addie Lawrence scored 11 points and closed with six boards.
College Heights plays Golden City at Ozark Christian College on Tuesday.
