After two upset wins to end the Central Missouri Jennies' basketball regular season, the team's postseason run came to an end Thursday night inside Municipal Auditorium in downtown Kansas City.
The Jennies fell to the Southwest Baptist Lady Bearcats 89-80 in the first round of the MIAA Postseason Tournament. With lost the Jennies finished its 2007-2008 season with a record of 14-14.
SBU shot the basketball well, shooting 57 percent while the Jennies just shot 39. Turnovers depleted the Jennies effort, as the team turned the ball over 16 times. The Lady Bearcats were able to stay in front of the Jennies for the entire second half. Twice, Central Missouri cut the lead to as small as four, but that was as close as the team came.
