            Conway, Ark. – Playing their third straight home game to open the season, Central Baptist College women's basketball hosted the Wildcats of Louisiana Christian University this afternoon at A.R. Reddin Fieldhouse. CBC (1-2) raced out to a 21-9 first quarter lead and maintained the rest of the way, beating LCU (0-2) 84-73 in the first meeting ever between the two schools.

            Raigan Head led the way with 23 points and recorded her first double-double of the season, grabbing a team-high 10 rebounds. Addison Hudspeth added 20 to go with seven rebounds and six assists, Lexi Duck had 19, 10 (for her first career double-double) and five blocked shots and Cammi Christie had 15 points, six assists and five rebounds. Free throw shooting and turnovers were the key stats as CBC went 23-26 at the stripe with 23 turnovers while LCU went 10-20 with 27 turnovers.

            CBC led the whole way, racing out to a 10-0 lead and pushed it to 17-2 with 5:21 left in the quarter before settling at 21-9 after one. After both teams scored 21 points in the second quarter, the Mustangs led 42-30 at the break.
