Box Score The Webster University women's basketball team dropped its fifth straight contest, losing at home to Greenville College, 64-44, on January 10.  With the loss, the Gorloks fall to 2-4 in the St. Louis Intercollegiate Athletic Conference.

The Gorloks trailed early, 9-4, in the first half.  A Danielle Meadows (SO, Centralia, IL/Centralia HS) three-pointer seemed to spark Webster, and a Brittney Zipprich (FR, Bethalto, IL/Civic Memorial HS) jumper tied the score at 9-9 at the 11:50 mark.

The teams traded baskets over the next seven minutes till a Panther 5-0 run put them ahead, 20-15 with  four minutes left in the half.  Greenville took a 26-20 lead into the locker room.
In the second, Greenville ran off a 10-0 run to open the half, building a 36-20 lead.  From there on, it was all downhill for the Gorloks as the Panthers steadily increased the margin, leading by 29, 60-31, with five minutes remaining in the game.

Webster continued its frigid shooting from the field, going 17-64 (26.6%) in the game, including 3-14 (21%) from three-point range.  The Gorloks were out rebounded, 44-39, by the Panthers, despite an eye-popping 18 offensive rebounds.

Meadows finished with a team-high 11 points for Webster, going 3-6 from beyond the arc.  Brittany Harris-Conway (JR, St. James, MO/John F. Hodge HS) had a double double on the button, scoring 10 points and pulling down 10 rebounds. 

The Gorloks, who started the season at 4-1, have dropped seven of their past eight games as their record falls to 5-8 overall on the season.
