QUINCY — The Lake Land women's basketball team won its 11th straight game using strong second and third quarters in a 62-56 victory over John Wood Community College Saturday in a Region 24 game.

Lake Land women
Lake Land outscored John Wood 38-18 in the middle two quarters to help them to the 6-point win as they improved to 14-2.
"We played well in the second and third quarters," said Lake land coach Dave Johnson. "In the first and fourth quarters, we were bad. Luckily we played well enough to build up a big lead. We played poorly both offensively and defensively in the first and fourth quarters."
Mattoon graduate Avery Jackson led the Lakers with 21 points, while Katrina Christian had 15. Zyah Burnett was tops in rebounds with 11, while Arie Sims and Charleston grad Aislinn Parish had four assists each. Christian and Burnett made five of six free throws to seal the win.
"It was a good win against a team that is 9-6 and an important one as we got a half point in the region for winning on the road," said Johnson. "We have one more to go against Illinois Central College on Jan. 19."
