In the first of a doubleheader with the men’s team, the Cedarville University women’s basketball team decisively gained their first win over Salem University 75-58 on Wednesday evening. The Lady Jackets started the season out 0-2 in non-conference matchups but seem to have found their rhythm in their third game of the season

Cedarville quickly pulled ahead in the second quarter and held their lead for the rest of the game. Coming off the bench, Elyssa Kincaid gave the women a spark and led the team with a double-double: 14 points and nine rebounds. Cedarville crashed the boards all evening and racked up an impressive 52 rebounds to Salem’s 28, almost half of them coming on the offensive side of the ball, giving the women a fresh shot clock.

The Jackets will look to carry this defensive style of play into their exhibition game at Northern Kentucky on Friday evening.
