Langhorne, PA - The Cairn women's basketball team struggled offensively throughout the night and fell to the Centenary Cyclones by a 57-34 final. Cairn trailed 30-7 at the half and despite playing better in the second-half did not have enough in the tank to dig out of the large first-half hole.

Kendra Stum and Charlotte Camp led Cairn with seven points each in the loss.

The first-half was one of the rougher halves the Highlanders had played this season. Cairn struggled to find the bottom of the hole and was 3-31 from the field (9.7%). At the end of the first quarter, the Highlanders trailed 11-5 and despite their struggles from the floor were in the game. The Cyclones then started the second quarter on a 17-0 run to turn a six-point lead into a 23-point advantage.

Charlotte Camp made a layup with 13 seconds left in the half to get Cairn on the board in the second quarter, but Centenary held a 30-7 lead at the break.

Cairn battled in the second-half and played even with the Cyclones for a majority of the half. Kendra Stum started Cairn's best run of play in the game with a heave from just inside of half-court that beat the buzzer that ended the third quarter. The Highlanders then opened the fourth quarter on an 8-0. That run, combined with Stum's first three-pointer of the season, gave Cairn an 11-0 streak that brought the score to 49-28.

Despite a strong second-half, including the Highlanders winning the fourth quarter (14-8), it was not enough as the Cyclones rolled to a 57-34 victory.
