Balanced team play and a hot night from Chrishana Wilson helped propel the St. Louis Community College Archers to 92-43 victory over the Lindenwood Belleville JV team on Wednesday night on the campus of Forest Park.  The Archers had four players score in double digits, including 24 points from Wilson.  Erica Waeltermann and Shamara Glover scored 12 points a piece and Alfreda Roberts netted 10 points and eight rebounds.  Besides the 24 points, Wilson added a game high 16 rebounds and for fun threw in four steals on the night. Ellisha Davis turned in an impressive stat line with eight points, eight assists and seven steals in the home opener.  

The Archers raced out to a 25-13 lead after one quarter and led 48-25 at the half, but just like the Saturday victory at Marshalltown, the Archers put the game out of reach in the third quarter by outscoring the Lynx 33-8.  The Archers dominated the stat lines, as they outrebounded Lindenwood Belleville 52-30 and forced 25 turnovers, including 20 steals.  The Archers improve to 3-0 on the year and return to action Friday at 5:00 pm, vs. Northwest Mississippi Community College in West Memphis, Arkansas at the 2016 Lady Greyhound Classic on the campus of Arkansas State Mid-South.
