"We played very well in this game. Iowa State just made things happen when they got on base. We put our selves in a position to win it and we should be proud of how we fought," said Lipscomb coach Kristin Peck.

The Lady Bisons drop to 4-6 on the season and play Ball State at 8:45 tomorrow morning instead of the previously scheduled Bradley.
