Karsyn Lamm, Emma Rugg and Elli Liechty each had two points in the loss. Liechty led the team in assists, with two. Isabel Ashton and Emma Huckabone each finished the night with one point.

Despite the loss, the Panthers were able to force a handful of Crusader turnovers and wound up with 10 steals on the night. Stewart had four to lead the team. Williamson had three steals. Carrasco had two, and Coleman finished with one.

The Panther girls are now 2-9 overall. They'll try and pick up a nonconference home win on Thursday, Jan. 19, when Danville comes to down.
