Lady Scots too much for Lady Buffs MILLIGAN COLLEGE, TN (February 7, 2007) —The Milligan College women’s basketball fell to the Lady Scots of Covenant College by a score of 71-59 at the Steve Lacy Fieldhouse on Wednesday evening. The loss will drop the Lady Buffs’ record to 14-12 overall and 8-7 in the Appalachian Athletic Conference (AAC). Conference rivals Covenant will move to and overall record of 17-7, and an 11-4 record in the AAC. Milligan jumped out to a 7-0 lead to start the contest capped by a 3-point bucket from Brit White (Chuckey, Tenn.) in the first two minutes. Covenant would eventually tie the game and take the lead, 14-11, after Liz Martin scored four straight points with a free throw followed by a 3-point basket. Martin ended the half by scoring a basket to give the Lady Scots their largest lead of the half, 32-23, going into the half-time break. Lyndee Biles added to the Covenant lead to start the second half with two made free throws, but Milligan responded with a 3-pointer from sophomore Leah Anderson (Lexington, Ky.) and a field goal from Hali Sparks (Erwin, Tenn.) to make the score 34-28. This would be closest the Lady Buffs could come to the Lady Scots for the remainder of the contest. Covenant built on their lead and held on for the conference win. Stand-out sophomore Rikki Baughman (Elizabethton, Tenn.) scored 14 points, grabbed a game-high 15 rebounds and blocked two shots. Anderson would be Milligan’s highest scorer in the contest, finishing with a total of 16 points. The Lady Scots were led in scoring by Martin, who poured 22 points into the Covenant effort. Biles would finish the game with 16 total points and six rebounds. Milligan’s next challenge comes on Feb. 10, when the Lady Buffs will take on AAC conference rival Union College at home in the Steve Lady Fieldhouse. Game time is scheduled for 5:30 p.m.
