MILWAUKEE, Wis. (February 6, 2017) – Bryant & Stratton College Lady Bobcats improve their win streak to seven after an outstanding win over Illinois Valley Community College this past Saturday. The Bobcats (17-8) defeated the Eagles (14-10) 103-98 in a hard fought contest by both teams.

The Bobcats lead 29-19 at the start of the second quarter but the Eagles fought their way back to trail only 46-43 at the half.

Bobcats head coach Jeff Lorenz was very proud of the way his team stayed positive and kept battling. 

"This team never lets the score or the game environment effect their play and energy," Lorenz said. 

The Bobcats lead the Eagles 72-70 at the end of the third quarter and after multiple lead changes in the fourth quarter they were able to pull out a 103-98 victory against a very talented Eagles team.

"They just don't give up." Lorenz said. "This team is the most unified team that I have coached and they define the statement of 'five playing as one'."

Bobcats forward Ashley Williams lead the way with 30 points followed by Kiara Donaldson with 29, Kyla Pitts 23, Gabby Norwood 17 and Jazlyn Drake with a magnificent defensive game cleaning up the boards and creating turnovers. 

The Bobcats have won 11 of 12 games and are in first place in NJCAA Division II District L.

With two games remaining in the season, the Bobcats will look to improve their win streak to eight when they travel to square off against Kankakee Community College (Kankakee, Ill.)  Thursday at 5:30pm.
