LEWISTON, Idaho – A six-game winning streak came to an end on Saturday as the Bushnell women's basketball team fell on the road to Lewis Clark State College, 63-59.
 
The Beacons (12-8, 9-3 CCC) were down by nine points after the first ten minutes, but found a way to claw back into the contest, trailing by just two points at halftime, 31-29. Bushnell took a brief lead in the third quarter, but LC State (14-3, 8-3) was able to pull away in the fourth.
 
Head Coach Chad Meadors said, "Our women played hard and dug out of a huge hole. The Warriors shot the ball so well and we just kept fighting and kept reeling them in, we just made a couple of mistakes late that cost us. I am really excited about where we are, how we are growing and building. Our defense is improving leaps and bounds from where it was at the beginning of the year."
 
The Beacons shot 37% in the game and hit seven three-pointers. Morgan McKinney led the way, scoring 13 points while Kalina Rojas added 12 and ten rebounds for her second double-double of the season. Bella Pedrojetti scored 11 points, hitting a trio of three-pointers.
 
LC State shot 40% from the field and were led by a 20-point performance from Callie Stevens. Hannah Broyles added 17.
 
Bushnell returns home next weekend, scheduled to take on Warner Pacific University at 5:30 pm on Friday and Multnomah University at 3:00 pm on Saturday.
