Deck: LB Women's basketball lose to Lane
Linn-Benton’s Activity Center was the site of a hard-fought battle for second place in the Northwest Athletic Conference (NWAC) women’s standings on Jan. 25.

Linn-Benton Roadrunners (4-2) played the Lane Titans (4-1) in a game that proved both these teams were deserving of a top seed, but Lane was more deserving narrowing out the win 81-75 due to the scoring of Sarah Hall who had 29 points and Sierra Carrier who had 22 points and 12 rebounds . The score was 42-33 in favor of the Titans at halftime, where they outscored Linn-Benton 25-14 in the second quarter.  

Starting the third quarter, the crowd was getting into the game. The Roadrunners were able to get back into the game by hitting three pointers from Jade Bevandich, who finished the game with 15 points.

“The team is coming along really well we keep improving every game,” said Bevandich.

They also got a healthy amount of point production from freshman Kasey Anderson who had 15 points. They outscored the Titans 24-20 in the 3rd to trim the lead to five trailing 57-62.  Starting the fourth quarter, Lane extended the lead back up to nine with six minutes to go in the fourth.

Linn-Benton would come back and tie it up at 71 by going on a 14-5 run with two minutes left in the game. Scoring wasn’t the only thing that kept the Roadrunners in the game. Their defense really helped fuel this run, with Jade Bevandich totaling four steals in the game.


“We need to be more aggressive on defense especially me,” said Bevandich.

The Titans came out of a timeout and proceeded to nail a clutch three-pointer to put the game at 74-71 with 1:30 left. After that three, Linn-Benton was held to only four points to finish the game with 75 points. Allowing Lane to finish the game on a 10-4 run ending up with the final score 81-75.
