BALDWIN CITY – Baker earned the regular-season split over Women's Basketball on Thursday with a 67-47 win as the Ravens opened up the second half of their conference schedule.
Benedictine was not able to overcome a cold second quarter that allowed Baker to pull away. The Wildcats limited the Ravens to three shots and a free throw as they outscored Benedictine 20-7 to take a 36-18 lead into halftime.
Everything started to fall for the Wildcats throughout the second quarter as they hit 9 of 12 from the floor while going 2-2 from beyond the arc.
The Ravens held the Wildcats to 50 percent from the floor in the third quarter as they started to match Baker's offensively. They continued to limit them in the fourth quarter, holding them to 5 of 16 from the floor.
Baker outscored Benedictine 31-29 in the second half as the Ravens were able to get their offense going, just not enough to overcome their second-quarter scoring drought.
Benedictine shot 38.5 percent from the floor in the third quarter and added a 40.0 percent effort in the fourth quarter.
Jennifer Jacobs was the only Raven in double figures as she scored 14 points. Grace Dixon added 7 off the bench in her first game since December.
Benedictine hosts Park University at Noon on Saturday as we celebrate Student Appreciation Day. Benedictine won the first meeting of the season over Park back on Dec. 14, 59-52.
