GEORGETOWN, Texas - The Ladies were able to take a two-point lead at the intermission, but the Maroon and White only hit 15.2 percent (5-for-33) from the field in the second half as Centenary (8-16, 5-8 Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference) fell to Southwestern (10-14, 7-7 SCAC) 56-40 Saturday night, February 10.
