Three of the best snipers in the Missouri Valley from beyond the arc were on the floor at JQH Arena on Friday night. Two of them were wearing away jerseys.
The other, sporting pink in support of Play 4 Kay night, was Liza Fruendt.
Fruendt splashed three from long range and scored a game-high 24 points to lead the Lady Bears to a 73-59 victory over Southern Illinois. Missouri State improved to 12-10 overall and 8-3 in the Valley and remains two games in front of Wichita State for third place in the conference.
Southern Illinois entered play with the conference’s top 3-point shooting percentage, and guards Rishonda Napier and Kylie Giebelhausen were ranked No.
