Allentown, PA (January 8, 2008) – Freshman Keri Lasky posted a game-high 20 points, but it would not be enough as Baptist Bible College defeated Cedar Crest College, 71-55, in non-league action on Tuesday evening in Lees Gymnasium. 

Baptist Bible took the early advantage, holding a 13-10 lead with 11:35 remaining in the first half on a made layup by Liz Bole, who had a team-high 18 points on the night.

The Falcons went ahead, 42-35, with 15:27 remaining in the contest before three turnovers and two missed shots by Cedar Crest opened the door for Baptist Bible to take a 46-44 lead at the 10:56 mark. 

Baptist Bible never looked back, going up by 22 with 3:17 remaining on a made layup by Boyle. 

Oakes posted eight points, 15 rebounds, five steals, and five assists, while freshman Leann Wallower added 13 points, nine boards, and six steals.  Cipriani added seven points and six rebounds.
