Sophomore Kaitlen Carns delivered career-high 25 points, including late fourth-quarter surge.

PORTLAND, Ore. -- Lewis & Clark College women's basketball set the tone early and held the lead through much of the opening half, before Puget Sound took control after intermission in a 73-66 decision Saturday afternoon at Pamplin Sports Center.

THE BASICS

Puget Sound 73, Lewis & Clark 66
(Lewis & Clark 5-14, 2-8 NWC)

HOW IT HAPPENED

Sophomore Kaitlen Carns led Lewis & Clark with a career-high 25 points on 7-of-15 shooting from the field. She went 9-of-10 from the free-throw line and pulled down a team-high seven rebounds.

First-year Hailey Perez added 16 points, while first-year Lilly Jordan finished with seven points, three rebounds and one assist.

Carns scored the game's first basket with a driving layup just over a minute into the contest. The teams traded baskets through the opening quarter, with Lewis & Clark holding leads of 8-6 and 10-8 in the middle minutes. Carns extended the margin to 14-8 with a layup at the 1:52 mark, but Puget Sound closed the period on a 4-0 run to pull within 14-12 after one quarter.

Lewis & Clark pushed its lead to 22-20 on a Jordan jumper at 5:47 of the second quarter. The River Otters followed with a 10-2 run to take a 32-24 advantage with 2:08 remaining before halftime. Puget Sound responded by closing the half on a 6-0 run, capped by a Hailey Quiggle three-pointer with 28 seconds left. Junior DJ Kendrick made one of two free throws with seven seconds remaining, then forced a Puget Sound turnover at the buzzer as Lewis & Clark carried a 33-30 lead into the break.

Puget Sound took control in the third quarter, outscoring Lewis & Clark 20-14. Carmen Cruz scored 10 points in the period for the Loggers, including a three-pointer that extended the lead to 48-41. Perez converted a pair of free throws in the final seconds to bring Lewis & Clark within 50-47 entering the fourth quarter.

Lewis & Clark opened the fourth quarter with a Divinity Singleton basket to make it 50-49. Carns tied the game at 55-all with a three-pointer at the 6:31 mark. Puget Sound answered with an 8-0 run over the next two minutes, led by five points from Mele Sake and a three-pointer from Natalia Sefair-Lopez, to take a 63-55 lead with 4:26 remaining.

Carns scored seven straight points for Lewis & Clark, including another three-pointer, to cut the deficit to 63-62 with 2:37 left. Paige Oh responded with a three-pointer for Puget Sound, and the Loggers sealed the win at the free-throw line down the stretch.

Some really tough losses. This team is super young. We are now without Lauren Frederickson (our leading scorer and rebounder). She is also one of the leading scorers in the league and the leading rebounder in the conference. She went down two games ago with a broken foot. Out for the season.

10 of our 14 losses have been by less than 10 points. Many of them were within one or two possessions in the final minute.

Puget Sound is the #2 team in the conference. We were down two with 48 seconds to go, with the ball.

We beat the #3 team last weekend. We were within 2 of the #20 team in the country in the last minute...

There's been so much growth between last season and this season.

Thanks! As much as I hate losing Freddy it's awesome to see that Kait has to step up. She's too unselfish. I think this will help her come into her own and attack more offensively. She's going to have to for them to win.

It'll pay dividends next season when we get Freddy back. Both of them going off will be really tough for other teams to keep with.

We need to have @THE HCP come and teach a class... We need help with our sound system too. It sounds garbled. I want to get ahold of it but I don't have professional experience, so I'm hesitant to ask.
 
Moved up to# 6 in the league in scoring. She averaged 15.7 points per game the last 7 games. Should get her to 500 collegiate points by the end of the season.

According to the George Fox announcers today she moved into the top 10 nationally in free throw percentage after going 7-7...

At one point during a fourth quarter run they chided George Fox for fouling "One of the best free throw shooters in the country" 88ft from the basket with a lead late in the 4th quarter...

Pretty cool.

Wish we would have gotten the win though...
