CHICAGO – Roosevelt could not fully overcome a rough first quarter as Davenport held on for a 73-57 win over the Lakers in Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference action Thursday at the Goodman Center.

After the teams traded 3-pointers to start the game, the Panthers quickly pulled ahead with a 10-0 run and extended their lead to as many as 14 in the first quarter. The deficit grew to 19 in the second quarter, but the Lakers (4-12, 3-6 GLIAC) managed to pull it back to 14 at halftime thanks to a Marie Outlay buzzer beater.

The Lakers kept that momentum rolling in the third quarter, shooting 10 of 19 from the field during the period to tie the game at 50 entering the final 10 minutes. Isabella Pitta added nine points in the third quarter and Isabel Lindo knocked down three 3-pointers as part of the massive comeback.

Outlay led the Lakers with 18 points, seven rebounds and three assists while Pitta chipped in 13 and seven boards. Lindo was 4 of 5 from long range against her former school to finish on 12 points.
