Box Score A late second half run was not enough for the Lindenwood women's basketball team as they ultimately fell to Saint Leo 73-66 on Saturday evening in its second game of the Saint Leo Invitational.

Junior Caroline Bourlioux tied her career-high point total of 25 along with grabbing seven boards in the contest. Freshman Tori Kuhn and Julie Hlinak each scored double-digits along with Bourlioux in the game.

Lindenwood outscored Saint Leo 40-38 in the second half and cut an 18 point Saint Leo lead to five with 39 seconds left, but Saint Leo would finish the game on a 5-3 run keeping the game out of reach for the Lady Lions.

Saint Leo's nine point lead at the half grew to 18 after jumping out to a 10-1 run in the second half. The Saint Leo lead stayed in the double-digit range before an 8-2 run sparked by a lay-up by freshman Jordynn Martin brought score to 62-54.

The two teams proceeded to battle back-and-forth through the end of the game, but fouls plagued the Lady Lions as they committed seven fouls in the last seven minutes of the game compared to only two by Saint Leo.
