Lady Tops fall to California Baptist

Western Kentucky’s women’s basketball team fell to California Baptist, 69-61, on Wednesday afternoon in Riverside, Calif.

The Lady Toppers came back from a 15-point deficit in the fourth quarter, but were unable to secure the comeback.

“We had great effort to get back in the game and actually take a lead, but we need that same effort the entire game,” WKU coach Greg Collins said in a news release. “On the boards, it’s hard to win when you give up 49 rebounds.”

The Lady Toppers were outrebounded 49-38. It was only the fourth time this season WKU has been outrebounded.
