Turnovers plague Lakeland in loss to Moscow

RATHDRUM - Taylor Anderson scored a game-high 17 points and the Moscow Bears forced nine first-quarter turnovers in a 51-46 win over the Lakeland Hawks in a 4A Inland Empire League game Saturday at Hawk Court.

"We just kind of coughed it up and gave Moscow chances to jump out to a big lead," Lakeland coach Steve Seymour said. "We were able to scramble back into it, but turned it over again in the third quarter. It was just a matter of us hurting ourselves tonight."

Darby Murray had 12 points and seven steals and Cieana Close had 13 points for Lakeland (4-4, 0-1 4A IEL), which finished with 25 turnovers.

Moscow (4-6, 2-0) shot 19 of 27 at the free throw line, compared to 8 of 13 for Lakeland.

"If we could have limited their chances at the line, that would have helped," Seymour said. "But the turnovers seemed to be the key."

Lakeland travels to East Valley on Tuesday.
