Senior night didn’t go quite as planned for the Morris Lady Redskins on Friday night as they dropped their final home game of the year to the Sycamore Spartans by a score of 55-49.

The Redskins got off to a quick start and jumped out to a 5-0 lead early in the first quarter, but the Spartans came storming back behind the sharpshooting of sophomore Bailey Gilbert. Gilbert scored 10 points in the first quarter and the Spartans carried a 15-10 lead into the break.

Gilbert would continue to fuel the Sycamore attack and the Spartans would go on to extend their lead to 32-16. However, Morris would finish the half on a small surge and cut the lead to 32-20 on a buzzer beating layup by junior guard Jade Fischer.
