Kuhns averages 7 points and 3.6 boards, while Saxon comes off the bench to average 26 minutes and 11.6 points a game. Jessica Woodard and Hope Brown, two of six freshmen, are part of the reason the Lady Lions have had success this season. Woodard is averaging 8.7 points, 3.3 rebounds and 4 assists at the point guard position. Brown is averaging 5.4 points and 3.7 rebounds at forward. Freshman Tosha Gardner shoots 38 percent from 3-point range and averages 7 points a game.
Defense is key.
Of the Lady Lions' nine losses, six were to tournament teams, including No. 2 Life and No. 6 Union. This year, we have the lowest field goal percentage ever shot by a Freed-Hardeman team, but we've been able to win ballgames because we've defended well. One of three teams to defeat No. 6 Union University.
