CLEVELAND, Tenn. — First met worst in Southern States Athletic Conference women’s basketball Monday evening, and it wasn’t pretty.
Especially not for the visiting Truett-McConnell team. The Lady Bears lost 87-19 to first-place Lee University, the seventh-ranked team in NAIA Division I.
Lee then completed the sweep with an 80-70 men’s win.
Angela Spann scored 18 points in only 17 minutes for the Lady Flames (17-1, 9-0), enough to put her over the 1,000-mark to 1,007 for her college career. Hollie German and Julia Zimmerman added 12 points each, and Karley Miller had 11 points with a game-high nine rebounds. Kally Eldridge made four of Lee’s 18 steals.
Kelsey Montgomery led the Cleveland, Ga., team with 10 points. The Lady Bears (1-16, 0-8) committed 33 turnovers while Lee had 14.
