Rustlers fall to Lightning

Rustlers fall to Lightning

It was an out of rhythm evening for the Rustlers on Saturday, with an old south division foe in town.

Lakeland hosted the St. Mary's Lightning, who were 3-1 heading into the contest. Both teams couldn't manage large scoring runs, but the Lightning benefited from strong play by their veteran backcourt and lead 40-25 at the half.

The second half saw a more spirited effort, as the Rustlers cut the lead to 9. However, the Lightning stayed in control for the remainder of time, winning 71-55.

Maitlynn Wilde lead all scorers with 22 points, while Andria Stitt (14 points, 6 assists) and Alana Olsen (10 points, 8 rebounds) were the Players of the Game.

Next up for the Rustlers is a road trip to Olds.
