When the senior forward exited the game with her third foul less than two minutes into the second half, Lincoln trailed by just two points. When she re-entered the game with 11:44 to play, the deficit had swollen to 13 points.

Lincoln wasn’t able to recover as Southwest Baptist handed the Blue Tigers a 79-59 loss Wednesday night at Jason Gym.
