ST. CHARLES, Mo. (Interstat) — The Lindenwood Lions look to build on a strong offensive performance when they host the Missouri-Kansas City Kangaroos in a nonconference women’s basketball game Monday at Robert F. Hyland Performance Arena.

Lindenwood (2-1) is coming off a 76-65 home victory over Oral Roberts on Thursday. Ellie Brueggemann led the Lions with 18 points and seven assists, while Gracie Kelsey and Aleshia Jones each added 14 points. The Lions’ only loss this season came on the road against a ranked Baylor team.

The Kangaroos (1-2) are seeking to rebound from a tough 89-61 road loss to Oklahoma on Wednesday. Elauni Bennett scored a team-high 19 points in the defeat. UMKC’s lone win was a dominant 90-35 victory over William Jewell on Nov. 8.

Monday’s contest is the first of a two-game homestand for Lindenwood before they travel to face Omaha on Saturday. UMKC will return home to prepare for a matchup against UTEP on Nov. 25.
