Romeoville, Ill. - Lewis University sophomore forward Jessica Kelliher (Waukesha, Wis./Waukesha North) converted the game-winning lay-up with three seconds remaining to lift the No. 19 Flyer women's basketball team to the 70-68 Great Lakes Valley Conference victory over Missouri-St. Louis at Neil Carey Arena on Thursday (Jan. 12) night.

Kelliher finished with a game-high 25 points on 9-for-11 shooting, including a 7-for-11 performance from the free throw line.

The Flyers also received 13 points and three trifectas from redshirt senior guard Jamie Johnson (South Holland, Ill./Marian Catholic) and 12 points and a game-high nine rebounds from freshman forward Rachel Hinders (Johnston, Iowa/Johnston).

With the win, Lewis improves to 13-3 on the campaign and 5-1 in GLVC action, while the visiting Tritons fall to 7-6 overall and 2-3 in conference play.
