Hometown Hero Leads Lady Bucs to Road Win

JACKSON, Tennessee-Playing in just her third collegiate game, her first in her hometown, Christian Brothers University freshman guard Brynne Lytle (Jackson, Tenn., Trinity Christian Academy) posted game-highs of 19 points and 10 rebounds off the bench to lead the Lady Bucs to a 62-55 win at Lane Thursday night.

HOW IT HAPPENED:
• The Lady Bucs (1-2) trailed for just 42 seconds in the game, but the first 12 minutes saw six ties before the Lady Bucs seized control with a 15-2 run. Shelmesha Barbee (Ripley, Tenn./Ripley HS) broke the tie with a bucket. After Lytle made a basket and two three-pointers, Rafaella Angelidou (Thessaloniki, Greece/Aristoteleio Kollegeio) capped the burst with a layup that gave CBU a 30-17 lead with 4:10 remaining in the first half, a lead which would prove to be their largest of the night.
• The Dragons (0-3) trimmed the CBU lead back to three points early in the third quarter when a LeKeiya Lane three-point play cut the deficit to 32-29 with 7:06 remaining. An Alisha Fortenberry layup two minutes later brought the Dragons within 35-34 with 5:04 remaining in the quarter.
• After an Angelidou free throw, another Lytle triple sparked a quick 8-0 burst capped by a Makayla Enochs (Finley, Tenn./Dyer County HS) three that gave the Lady Bucs a 43-34 lead with 2:43 remaining in the third period. Lane never came closer than six points in the fourth quarter.

KEY STATS:
• Lytle, who was a first-team All-State performer in four sports at Trinity Christian Academy just eight miles away from Lane's campus, scored her career-best 19 points on 7-of-12 shooting, including 4-of-7 from three-point range. She added one steal in 27 minutes. Her double-double is CBU's first of the season and the first since Samantha Reeves had 19 points and 14 rebounds Feb. 25 against North Alabama.
• Angelidou added 10 points and three rebounds in 24 minutes off the bench.
Kenzie Jones (Park Hills, Mo./Central HS) scored nine with four assists, four rebounds and two steals in a game-high 37 minutes.
• Enochs tacked on eight points before fouling out in 27 minutes.
• The Lady Bucs shot 38.6 percent (22-of-57) for the game, including 33.3 percent (11-of-33) from three-point range. Lane finished 35.2 percent (19-of-54) overall but just 21.1 percent (4-of-19) from beyond the arc.
• Lane out-rebounded the Lady Bucs 35-32, including a 13-9 edge in offensive boards, and they forced 13 CBU turnovers while committing 10.

WHAT'S NEXT:
The Lady Bucs return to action Tuesday night at 5 p.m. when they host Arkansas-Monticello for their home opener.
