Box Score CHAMPAIGN, Ill. – The Parkland women's basketball team lost at home on Monday evening to the sixth-ranked Lincoln Land Community College Loggers by a score of 70-60. Parkland shot 87% from the free-throw line but it wasn't enough, as they fall to 1-1 in conference.
 
The Cobras (11-3) got off to an excruciatingly slow start, falling behind 12-0 early. Parkland didn't score a basket in the first eight minutes of the game and ended up trailing the Loggers (16-3) 19-10 after the first quarter. Lincoln Land started the second quarter off with a pair of baskets and stretched their lead out to 42-26 by halftime. The second half was more of the same as the Cobras struggled shooting from beyond the arc, finishing the game 7-21 (33%), and the Loggers kept the pressure on with a full-court press. Both offenses struggled in the third quarter as Lincoln Land held on to a commanding 56-37 lead, but that was about to change. Both teams traded baskets early, but an 11-3 Cobras run midway through the fourth quarter made it just a 13-point ball game with 3:35 remaining. Despite the late excitement, including a 7-2 run to close the game, the Cobras' comeback would fall short 70-60 on Monday night. Shaelynn Bell led the Cobras in scoring with 12 points, Sarah Isaf (11 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 blocks) had a stat-stuffing night and Kenzey Decker (9 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists) was a perfect 4-4 from the free-throw line in the loss.
