LEWISTON, Idaho – The No. 16 Lewis-Clark State Warriors had their win-streak snapped on Thursday night against the No. 8 Carroll College Fighting Saints. Despite a double-double from Jossilyn Blackman, the Warriors fell 60-53.

The Saints continued to grow their lead in the second frame, leading LC by as much as 12 before heading into halftime with a 34-23 advantage.
 
Carroll saw their largest lead of the game at the 6:22 mark in the third quarter when a layup put them up 41-25.
 
LC gained momentum in the fourth quarter, mounting a comeback to cut their deficit to two points. A free throw by Kiara Burlage sparked run of nine unanswered points for the Warriors at 6:15.
