Laker women come up short in must-win situation

Box Score

SAULT STE. MARIE - The Wayne State women's basketball team overcame a six-point second-half deficit to beat Lake Superior State for the second time this season. The Warriors' early-season non-conference win was nothing more than a barometer for the Lakers. Thursday's conference victory at Bud Cooper Gymnasium knocked the Lakers out of contention for a berth in the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Tournament.

LSSU (10-15 overall, 6-12 GLIAC) will wrap up its season at 1 p.m. Saturday at home against Findlay. The Lakers will pay tribute to seniors Cassy Schemberger, Sarah Cubr and Jasmine Brown before the game.

Wayne State (12-14 overall, 7-12 GLIAC) scored 14 points off 13 first-half LSSU turnovers, but trailed 25-24 at halftime after shooting only 27.8 percent from the field. The Warriors scored seven unanswered points to close out the game. Schemberger posted up during the Lakers' final possession, but couldn't draw a foul during the final seconds. Juanita Cochran hovered over Schemberger and rejected a game-winning lay-up attempt.

Paige Sickmiller totaled 17 points, eight rebounds and five steals to lead WSU. The Warriors shot 29.4 percent from the field, including 2-of-10 from three-point range, and made 9-of-16 free throws.

Raven Trammell scored a team-leading 17 points for LSSU. Maria Blazejewski scored 15 points before fouling out, and Schemberger compiled nine points and 17 rebounds. The Lakers shot 37 percent from the field, including 4-of-17 from behind the arc, and made 12-of-19 free throws. LSSU out-rebounded Wayne State, 46-39.
