COLUMBIA, Ky. – Ashley Rainey finished with 26 points and 17 rebounds, but it was not enough for Lindsey Wilson as Shawnee State had three players in double figures lead it to a 62-54 win on Saturday at Biggers Sports Center.

Rainey was alone in double figures as Sarah Gillis was next in line with nine points, hitting one of the team's two made threes in the game. Tara Arnold connected on the other in the first half and finished with five points on the day.

The Bears got a team-best 21 points from Alannah Sheets, hitting all 10 of her free throws. Desirai Smith added 15 points.

Neither team shot the ball well from the field with the Bears leading slightly, 38.9 percent to 30.3. Lindsey Wilson did outrebound Shawnee State 48-43.

Tara Arnold hit a three and Laura Skuda hit a jumper from the free-throw line to give the Blue Raiders an 18-14 cushion built by a pair of reserves with eight minutes left in the first half.

Shawnee State responded over the next two minutes with a 7-2 run to take its first lead of the game at 21-20 on a put back in the paint by Sheets. Lindsey Wilson would score just four more points before halftime as the Bears outscored it 12-4 down the stretch to take a 33-21 lead at the half.

For the second straight game, Ashley Rainey was able to put a double-double together in the first 20 minutes with 12 points and 10 rebounds. The Blue Raiders needed all of her points as no one else had more than three.

Only one three in nine attempts went down for Lindsey Wilson in the half, as Shawnee State used three 3-pointers to help build its lead.

The second half was a lot of the same for Lindsey Wilson as a late three by Gillis was its only make from deep in the half. Luckily, Shawnee State cooled off and only shot 36 percent from the field in the frame.

Still, with two minutes left to play a layup from Schera Sampson gave the Bears their largest lead yet of 11 points at 56-45. Gillis' three cut the deficit to four at 56-52 a minute later, but late free throws from Shawnee State allowed it to go back on top by 10 in the final minute to hold off for the win.

Lindsey Wilson's next game is on the road, playing at Cumberlands (Ky.) in Williamsburg on Thursday at 5 p.m. CT.
