FAYETTEVILLE---The Lady Wildcats got off to another sluggish start Tuesday night at Lincoln County, and once again the early hole proved too deep. The Lady Cats had only three points in the first quarter and 12 for the half as the Lady Falcons moved out to an 11-point advantage. Freshman post player Alexis Jacobs gave the Lady Cats a big boost with seven points off the bench and joined junior Emily Gilbert (8 points) as the team's leading scorers.
