WBB Travels to Hammond for Probable Regular Season Championship Game

[geezer]

Lady Cards and Southeastern La tipoff at 6 PM tonight for the game that will probably determine who the regular season conference champion is. The teams are tied in the loss column at one game each with third place Corpus Christi already having three losses. Each team will play Corpus one more time before the end of the regular season but without help from another SLC opponent the best Corpus can do is wind up one game back of the winner of this contest. So far Lamar has the tie-breaker with both SELA and Corpus having won the previous contest, but Lamar also will play at Commerce in this last part of the season who Lamar lost to at home early in the conference season.

Good opening quarter by both teams finds Lamar up by three 18-15. Lamar played seven players during the quarter and six of them scored. Rebounds are about even and turnovers are even at three apiece.

Lamar has an excellent second quarter outscoring SELA 17-6 for a half time lead of 35-21. Lamar had three total fouls in the first half with no one with more than one and Lamar's inside players with no fouls. SELA has five fouls with two on one of their forwards.

LU WBB normally starts off slow but this is a pleasant surprise!

Couldn't watch the second half, but Lamar extended the lead to twenty points by the end of the third quarter, before SELA made a strong comeback in the fourth quarter outscoring the Lady Cards by thirteen points in the fourth quarter. SELA got as close as five points before Lamar stopped the comeback. SELA made that strong fourth quarter comeback last year in the tournament so stopping it this time is important as the regular season winds down and another possible meeting in the tournament is still ahead. Final score Lamar 67 SELA 60.
