Trevecca Overcomes Slow Start, Defeats Lyon

Box Score NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Rachel Raby scored 22 points and grabbed 14 rebounds, and the Trevecca women's basketball team (10-15, 6-7 TranSouth) overcame a slow start to defeat #RV Lyon College (18-9, 7-6) 69-57 Monday night at the Trojan Fieldhouse. The Trojans now lead the overall series 22-10.

The Scots scored the first 14 points of the game, before Raby finally got the Trevecca on the board with a bucket 4:57 into the game. A three-pointer 1:37 later by Lyon's Rachel Shellenberger made it 17-2 and things weren't looking good for the Trojans. But another bucket by Raby, who scored Trevecca's first seven points, ignited a 29-9 run by the Trojans that erased the deficit and sent the teams to the locker room with Trevecca leading 31-26.

Trevecca pushed the lead to 41-32 early in the second half, before Lyon went on a 7-0 spurt to cut the lead to two (41-39) with 11:15 remaining. But a 10-2 run by Trevecca kept the Scots at bay, with Lyon not getting any closer than four points the rest of the way.

Three other Trojans scored in double figures in Monday night's victory. Anna Mitchell added 14 points and eight rebounds, Kayla Biles chipped in 13 points, and Anissa Ragland added 10 points and seven rebounds. Shellenberger led the Scots with 11 points.

The Trojans shot 35% (23-65) from the floor, 21% (3-14) from three-point range, and 80% (20-25) from the line. Lyon shot 38% (20-52) from the field, 36% (8-22) from beyond the arc, and 82% (9-11) from the charity stripe. Trevecca won the battle on the boards 42-34, including 17-7 on the offensive glass.

Thursday, the Trojans play at No. 3 Freed-Hardeman (22-4, 10-2 TranSouth) at 6 p.m. The Lady Lions defeated Trevecca 83-57 on January 16th at the Trojan Fieldhouse.
