JACKSONVILLE, Ill. -- A big second half was the difference on Saturday as the Lawrence University women's basketball team fell 74-58 to Illinois College at Sherman Gymnasium.

Lawrence led by five points at the half, but the Lady Blues rode a big third quarter to the lead and went on to the victory in the season finale for both teams.

Leah Reeves led Lawrence with 14 points as she hit 7-of-10 shots from the floor, and she added five rebounds. Arianna Neumeyer came off the bench to add nine points, four rebounds and two steals.

Lawrence (6-18, 3-15 MWC) put together a solid first half but trailed 25-21 with nearly five minutes left in the second quarter.
