Leathernecks Suffer First Loss at Home

Western Illinois fell 84-39 to Bradley on Wednesday (Nov. 20) night.

MACOMB, Ill. - Cold shooting by the Western Illinois women's basketball team resulted in the first home loss of the season from the Bradley Braves 84-39 on Wednesday (Nov. 20) night. 

Grace Gilmore earned a charge the first possession of the game, that set up a three-pointer by Evan Zars at 9:28. The Braves responded and strung together a nine-point run to gain a 14 point lead. 

The Leathernecks again struggled to score into the second quarter and were limited to eight points. Bradley countered the cold shooting and drilled 38.9 percent from three to go with 12 offensive boards for a 46-19 lead into half. 

Kyra Washington woke up the Leathernecks offensive midway through the third quarter to end the 17-0 Bradley run. The senior drilled back-to-back threes to cut into the 62-19 lead at 4:42, but the Braves didn't miss a step and cruised to a thirty-five point win. 

The gauntlet of the non-league schedule continues Sunday (Nov. 24) against No. 3 Drake.
