The Webster University women's basketball team got lost in the tall timbers, losing on the road to Washington University, 88-40, on January 4.  The Bears are currently ranked fourth in the nation in the NCAA Division III.

Webster hung close early on, but an 18-0 run by the Bears put the Gorloks in a deep hole.  The Gorloks couldn't overcome a height disadvantage, the Bear's have seven six-footers on their roster, as Webster was limited to 25 percent shooting for the game.  Webster battled on the boards, picking up a season high 19 offensive rebounds, but it wasn't enough.

Freshman Airyn Miller (Belleville West HS, IL) led the Gorloks in scoring with her second straight 11 point effort .  Ayrica Lockett (SO, Crossroads Prep, STL) pulled down nine rebounds to lead Webster.    The Gorloks were missing starting forward Tori Fenemor (FR, St. Charles HS, STL), the team's second-leading scorer and rebounder.  Fenemor sustained a rib injury against Spalding University (KY) on January 2.

Webster is back in action on January 6, at home, vs. Eureka College (IL).  The Gorloks (3-0) are in first place in St. Louis Intercollegiate Athletic Conference play, and 7-4 overall.
