ROMEOVILLE, Ill. - Sophomore Jenny Turpel (Johnsburg, Ill./Johnsburg) scored 16 of her 18 points in the second half, but it wasn't enough as the Quincy Lady Hawks defeated Lewis 82-63 in a Great Lakes Valley Conference women's basketball game on Saturday afternoon at Neil Carey Arena.

The game was tight in the first half till Quincy went on a 12-0 run to make it 28-14 with 6:17 remaining. The Flyers cut a 36-23 half time deficit to just seven points by starting the second on an 8-2 run. Turpel had six points during the stretch. Quincy responded by scoring the next six points but back came the Flyers. Turpel had a layup and a trey and then senior Jenna Mooberry (Byron, Ill./Byron) drained one from long range to cut the Quincy lead to seven with 15:20 remaining. But that would be as close as the Flyers would get. Quincy finished strong down the stretch to extend their lead.

Quincy drained all 16 of their free throws while the Flyers hit 12-of-17. The Lady Hawks held dominating edges in rebounds (37-23) and shooting percentage (55.4-40.7).

The Flyers fall to 7-8 (3-3 GLVC). Quincy improves to 12-3 (4-1 GLVC). Jessica Keller had a game-high 20 points, going 8-for-8 from the line.

"I think Jenna (Mooberry) played good defense on Keller," head coach Lisa Carlsen said. "She got her average but she didn't take control of the game like she's done in games this year."

Freshman Sierra West (Hartford, Wis./Slinger) added 10 points. Mooberry, freshman Devon Carbaugh (Sterling, Ill./Sterling) and sophomore Kelly Monaco (Chicago, Ill./Resurrection) each had eight points. In addition to her 18 points, Turpel also had seven rebounds, four assists and three steals.

The Flyers have a week off till they return to action against UW-Parkside at 1 p.m. on Saturday at Neil Carey Arena. The Rangers of UW-Parkside have a perfect 6-0 conference mark.
