Lady Saints Sizzle in First Half of Pratt Win

The #8 Seward Lady Saints built a 42-17 halftime lead and won 66-48 Wednesday night at Lesh Arena in Pratt. The Lady Beavers out-scored Seward 31-24 in the second half, but Seward still won handily.

Ricquia Jones scored a career high 19 points while Ashlynn Knoll returned to the lineup with 15 points and 11 rebounds.

Seward shot 44 percent and held PCC to 32 percent shooting. The Lady Saints struggled with 25 turnovers but forced 23 turnovers. Seward built their first half lead in part due to 6-12 shooting from three point range.

Pratt is 10-6 overall and 0-2 in the Jayhawk West while Seward is 14-2 overall and 3-0 in the Jayhawk West.

Seward has won 42 in a row over Pratt and hasn’t lost to them since 1991.
