Chloe Watson continued her excellent start to the 2026-27 season, dropping 17 points on Central Missouri at Wisconsin Dells, WI's Justagame Fieldhouse. But Lake Superior State dropped the final game of the Midwest Tipoff Challenge 82-63 to the Jennies on Sunday morning.

Watson, a fourth year guard from Hemlock, MI, scored 15 in the opener against Truman State, then scored another 13 against #7 Minnesota State on Saturday. She's off to a sizzling start for LSSU, shooting with confidence and shooting often. She's taken double-digit shots in each of the first three Laker games of the season. On Sunday, Watson added four rebounds, three assists and a block. Her 17 points matched her LSSU career-high from January 10th, 2026 against Roosevelt.

Sisters Malia and Lilly Thelen each scored 11 for the Lakers. Lilly, a first year guard, plundered the ball from the Jennies for three steals in 24 minutes of work, while Malia shot 3-for-4 from the field.

Forwards Mia Krasteva and Tia Glazier each snagged seven rebounds for LSSU. The team outrebounded Central Missouri on both ends of the floor.

LSSU shot 40% from the field and hit 36.4% of its threes in the game, connecting on eight shots from behind the long line.
