Another long losing streak has come to an end for Lincoln Trail College's women's basketball team.
Lincoln Trail halted a seven-game losing streak Saturday by pounding visiting Rend Lake College, 88-72, in Great Rivers Athletic Conference play.
The win was also the second this season over Rend Lake for the Lady Statesmen, who also won the first meeting of the season between the two teams, 79-76, in Ina on Jan. 11.
The Lady Statesemen poured in 45 points in the first half to take a 45-39 lead at halftime, then outscored Rend Lake 43-33 in the second half to pull away for the win.
A strong shooting night made a big difference for Lincoln Trail, as they have struggled to put the ball in the basket for much of the season. The Lady Statesmen made 28-62 field goal attempts (45 percent), which included a 23-48 performance from two-point range (48 percent) and a 5-14 effort from three-point range (36 percent). Meanwhile, Rend Lake made 44 percent of their shots from the floor (22-50), including 18-37 from inside the arc (49 percent) and 4-13 from long distance (31 percent). Lincoln Trail also took advantage at the free throw line, making 27-33 foul shots (82 percent), while Rend Lake was 22-36 at the charity stripe (61 percent).
Justyne Sublett paced the LTC attack with 29 points, seven rebounds, four assists, two steals and one blocked shot, while Erica Carpenter totaled 13 points, three rebounds, two steals and one assist. Alex Morgan posted 12 points, eight rebounds and one assist, Gabrielle Duncan contributed 11 points, six rebounds, three assists and one steal, Smith netted seven points, five rebounds and three assists, Samantha Beatty chipped in with seven points, three rebounds, three steals and two assists, DeAsia Phillips registered seven points, two rebounds and two assists and Amber Crumbie added two points, one rebound and one assist her first game back from injury.
Patrice Hutchinson led Rend Lake with 22 points, while Jennifer Moeller and Malyra Carter were also in double figures with 19 and 15 points, respectively.
