It's been a problem for the Lincoln women all season.

When the Blue Tigers aren't turning teams over and getting points in transition, they struggle scoring in the halfcourt offense.

A perfect example came Thursday night in Lincoln's 70-44 loss to No. 14 Washburn at Jason Gym.

"They're bigger, they're faster, they're stronger," Lincoln head coach Nicole Collier said of the Lady Blues. "(They have) better players and they compete. We couldn't beat their second- or third-string tonight."
