Inaugural Visit to W. Va. Tech Produces Two Losses

MONTGOMERY, W.Va. -- The Lindsey Wilson College men's and women's basketball teams dropped a doubleheader to West Virginia Tech on Saturday at the Baisi Athletic Center.

The inaugural visit to the newest member of the Mid-South Conference produced a 66-58 women's loss and a 59-57 men's loss.
The Blue Raider women committed 24 turnovers and shot just 28.8 percent (17-of-59) to fall to 8-15 overall and 2-1 in the MSC.

Lindsey Wilson juniors Kara Osterfeld and Krystal Jackson each scored 13 points to lead the Blue Raiders. West Virginia Tech's Kierra Wilkins led the Golden Bears (17-4, 2-1 in the MSC) with 15 points.
