WBB Recap: Mo. Southern 58, Truman 49

KIRKSVILLE, Mo. – The Missouri Southern Lions got 22 points from Sharese Jones and 20 from Deb Holcomb to down the Truman Women's Basketball team 58-49 in a non-conference game in Pershing Arena on Saturday.
 
The Lions had 10 steals and forced 17 Truman turnovers while converting those miscues into 19 points in a game that was close throughout. The Bulldogs did not make a three-pointer, snapping a streak of 103 games with one, and went 0-of-11 from outside.
 
Truman scored 16 of their 20 first half points in the paint with Michalina Tomczak (8) and Cassidy Clark (6) accounting for 14 of them. The Bulldogs led 10-2 five minutes into the game but the Lions roared back with eight of their own to tie things up.
 
Southern took a one point lead (21-20) into the locker room and led by three (29-26) until Jones knocked down the first three-pointer of the game for either team with 4:20 left in the third quarter. The teams were a combine 0-of-14 until that point from long range. On the Lions next possession, Holcomb drained a triple to extend the lead to nine points.
 
In the fourth, Holcomb scored the Lions' first nine points as they built up a 12-point lead with 7:05 left to play.
 
Rachel Edmundson and Tomczak converted on field goals later in the quarter to trim the lead down to six points however the Lions also used the charity stripe to keep Truman at arm's length.
 
Neither team shot above 40% for the game with MSSU hitting 35.2% from the field and the Bulldogs 34.7%. Tomczak led Truman with 14 points and Rachel Steinhoff had 13 to pace Truman, who falls to 2-2 overall.
 
The Bulldogs begin a busy week with a home game Monday against Hannibal-LaGrange followed by a rare Wednesday night before Thanksgiving game at Upper Iowa and a final home game next Saturday against Culver-Stockton College.
