WINONA LAKE, Ind. - Grace's women's basketball team fell 76-55 to Taylor on Saturday afternoon.

Grace (17-11, 7-9 Crossroads League) led through the entire first half, but a poor shooting performance in the second half doomed the Lady Lancers.

Grace was playing the game without injured guard Maddie Ryman, who leads the league in scoring.

Karlee Feldman became Grace's all-time single season rebounding leader (323) after a nine-rebound performance.

Feldman scored the first four points of the game as the Lady Lancers were energized from the opening tip.

Kiersten Poor and Kenzie McMahon scored from in close, and a 3-point shot from Kaylee Patton forced a timeout from the reeling Trojans (14-10, 7-4 CL).

McMahon converted a layup to extend Grace's lead to 13-0 before Taylor finally got on the board.

The Trojans' first two baskets were from 3-point land, but the Lady Lancers kept up the pressure, and maintained their lead.

The Trojans ended the quarter on an 8-0 run, but Grace still led 20-14 entering the second.

Patton, McMahon and Feldman all scored six points in the quarter.

The Trojans opened the scoring in the second to cut the Lady Lancers' lead down to four. McMahon responded with a basket on Grace's next possession.

Kensie Ryman hit from beyond the arc, and Peyton Murphy scored to push the Lady Lancers' lead back to double digits.

Taylor again got within five of Grace, but the Lady Lancers once again had an answer. Murphy and Patton hit back-to-back triples to push Grace ahead 33-22.

After the pair of trifectas, Grace went the final 4:48 scoreless, which allowed Taylor to close the gap. Grace led at the half 33-29.

Patton led Grace with nine points and eight rebounds in the first half while shooting a perfect 3 of 3 from behind the arc. McMahon added eight points and seven rebounds.

Grace shot 41 percent from the field and 50 percent from 3-point range. Taylor shot 30 percent and 25 percent respectively.

Grace had 12 turnovers compared to four from Taylor.

Poor scored first in the second half for Grace, but a trio of 3-point plays from Taylor gave the Trojans their first lead of the game. Taylor extended their lead to six.

Grace responded well to their first deficit, and reclaimed the lead after Poor converted a 3-point play at the charity stripe.

The teams traded baskets, and Grace led 46-45 with two minutes left in the third. The Trojans scored 10 points in the final two minutes and took a 55-46 lead into the final frame.

Taylor opened the fourth with a 3-point barrage. By the midpoint of the quarter, the Trojans led 72-49.

Grace went just 3 of 15 in the quarter as Taylor closed out the game for a 76-55 victory.

"We beat ourselves today. I thought we came out with great energy, especially playing without Maddie. But our mistakes caught up to us in the second half," said Grace head coach Dan Davis. "They found momentum to end the third quarter, and we never responded. You can't give up 31 points off turnovers and expect to win. Our mistakes were the difference in the game."

The Lady Lancers turned the ball over 22 times, 10 more than the Trojans. Grace finished the game 36 percent from the field compared to 46 percent from Taylor.

Grace outrebounded the Trojans 38-31.

McMahon double-doubled with 12 points and 11 rebounds. Patton led Grace with 16 points.

The Lady Lancers will travel to Spring Arbor on Wednesday for a 7 p.m. showdown before returning home on Saturday for the regular season finale against Huntington at 1 p.m.
