QUINCY, Ill. - Darcee Schmidt posted a double-double of 18 points and a season-high 13 rebounds, but it wasn't enough for the Flyers in a 74-72 setback to Quincy, Thursday night in Great Lakes Valley Conference action.

The Flyers (6-2, 2-1) dominated the action from the start and never trailed for the first two-thirds of the game. With 12:20 to play in the game, Lewis led by its biggest margin of the night at 51-39. Unfortunately for the Flyers, the lead didn't hold.

Taking advantage of two Lewis turnovers, the Lady Hawks buried consecutive 3-pointers to quickly cut Lewis' lead in half. The 6-0 spurt turned into a 16-3 run, and by the 7:20 mark, the Lady Hawks had a 55-54 lead on the Flyers.

Both teams shot 45 percent from the floor for the game, but the Lady Hawks shot 56 percent from the field and made six of their seven 3-pointers in the second half.
