HELENA, Mont. -- For the second time in 24 hours, the No. 6-ranked Carroll College Fighting Saints women's basketball team battled evenly on the road with Lewis-Clark State College.
With a few minutes left, however, the Warriors built a multiple possession lead and the Saints couldn't answer, falling for the first time this season 60-50 on Sunday in Lewiston, Idaho.
The Saints (7-1) own a 2-1 record over the Warriors, but couldn't muster the energy to hold down the Warriors for a third time after having played their third road game in four days.
Carroll took a 26-16 lead into halftime, but the Warriors outscored the Saints 44-24 in the second half to secure the win.
Danielle Wagner led the Saints with 11 points, but was the only Saints to crack double figures.
Christine Denny added a near double-double of nine points and nine rebounds, while
Sienna Swannack contributed seven points and nine rebounds.
The Warriors (4-2) received a game-high 17 points from Peyton Souvenir.
The Saints next play Montana Tech in Butte on December 31.
