Cold Third Quarter Dooms Women's Hoops at No. 23 Lewis

The Warriors trailed by one at halftime, 38-37.

DETROIT -- The Wayne State University women's basketball program (4-7) fell 75-58 at No. 23 Lewis (10-2) on Monday afternoon.  It was the Warriors fourth consecutive setback.

HOW IT HAPPENED
- Wayne State led 7-4 after a bucket from Christina Green (Southfield, Mich. / Lathrup) at the 7:21 mark.  Lewis led 17-12 at the 3:22 mark.  A Flyers triple extended the home lead to 22-15 at the two-minute mark.  However, the Warriors ended the period on an 8-0 run including two three-pointers from India Hawkins (Detroit, Mich. / Edison Public School Academy) to take a 23-22 advantage after 10 minutes of play.

- WSU notched the first five points of the second quarter to push the rally to 13-0 and the lead to 28-22.  The spurt included another trey from Hawkins, her third of the contest. After Lewis tied the game at 28-28 with 6:32 remaining in the first half, Nastassja Chambers (Ypsilanti, Mich. / Arbor Prep) connected from deep to keep WSU on top.  Green kept the three-point lead in tact (35-32) with a basket at the 2:45 mark.  LU's Jamie Johnson drove to the basket to give her team a one-point lead at halftime, 38-37.  The Green & Gold made seven of its 12 three-point attempts. 

- Lewis scored the first seven points of the third stanza to take a 45-37 lead at the 7:17 mark as WSU missed its first nine field goal attempts after intermission.  Ja'Nae Williams (Detroit, Mich. / Martin Luther King) put WSU on the board in the second half with a basket at the 5:35 mark.  Lewis began to assert its will and led 51-41 and eventually 56-41 with just over four minutes remaining in the quarter.  After the third quarter, the Warriors trailed 62-41, scoring just four points in the third period.

- The Flyers continued to control the tempo and led 66-45 upon the arrival of the quarter's media timeout.  An Alex Matus (Millbury, Ohio / Toledo Central Catholic) triple trimmed the home lead to 70-53 with four minutes left to play.  The Flyers would cruise to a 75-58 victory.

LEADING THE WARRIORS
- Chambers led WSU with 11 points, while Hawkins tallied nine points and Green finished with eight points.

LEADING THE FLYERS
- Four Flyers finished in double-digits led by 16 points from Jessica Kelliher.

SUCCESS FROM BEHIND THE ARC
