Carthage Drops Conference Game with Illinois Wesleyan

KENOSHA, Wis. — The Carthage women's basketball team fell 79-60 on Saturday afternoon in Tarble Arena to Illinois Wesleyan.

It was the visiting Titans (7-6, 4-0 CCIW) that took an early lead, before Bridget Barrett got the Firebirds (8-6, 3-3 CCIW) on the board with a layup to make it 7-2. Illinois Wesleyan would continue to hold their lead, as a three at the buzzer for the end of the first quarter by Destiny Antoine made it 19-11. Antoine would hit another three midway through the second period, but the visiting team continued to extend their lead, as Carthage trailed 42-23 at halftime.

While the Titans held their lead throughout the remainder of the contest, Carthage was able to cut into their deficit in the fourth quarter, outscoring the visitors 18-10 in the final 10 minutes of play.

The Firebirds will be back in action a week from today, when they travel to Millikin on Saturday, January 15 for a 2 p.m. game.
