Okay, who switched baskets at halftime?

The St. Joseph Female Flyers saw a halftime lead disappear in the second half as they had just two field goals in the second half in a 55-40 loss to the Fairview (Ky.) Lady Eagles Thursday.

St. Joseph had two field goals in the third quarter and was 0-for-8 in the fourth quarter.

"We couldn't buy a basket the second half," Flyers coach B.J. Hannon said. "And we got in foul trouble. That hurt us."

Christina Harvey scored 20 points to lead the Female Flyers (8-10). Harvey, Raven Blake and Mallory Hasenauer all fouled out for St. Joseph.

Fairview's Carissa Evans had a game-high 26 points to lead all scorers. Ally Boyd added 14 points for the Eagles.

The Female Flyers were up 6-3 when Fairview went on a 7-0 run capped by Boyd's 3-pointer to lead 10-6. Hasenauer sank two foul shots with 44 seconds left to cut the deficit to 10-8.

Hasenauer tied the game to start the second quarter as St. Joseph scored 9 unanswered points. A free throw by Blake put the lead at 17-10 with 5:02 left in the half.
