Freshman Jenny Lindner of Neillsville scored a career-high 25 points, but UW-Milwaukee lost to Youngstown State on Thursday night 79-73.Lindner topped her former high of 19 points, making 5-of-7 three-pointers while adding five rebounds, an assist and a steal.
Heidi Schlegel almost single-handedly led Youngstown State to victory, setting a career high with 38 points to eclipse her former high of 28 handily.
"It was tough. I felt like we had a lot of opportunities in those last three minutes to put ourselves in a position to win and we didn't take care of the basketball," UWM head coach Kyle Rechlicz said. "We had a majority of our turnovers right down the stretch when the possession of the ball really matters."
"All in all, I thought we played very tough," Rechlicz said. "I thought we matched their toughness. We battled tonight. Our shot was falling but we just couldn't lock up one of the best players in the conference ? Heidi Schlegel ? she put on a clinic tonight."
