PARIS, Ill. (WPRS)-The Paris Lady Tigers played a hard fought game against first-place Salem, but it wasn't enough in a 49-30 loss Thursday night.
 
Paris put up a good defensive throughout but early foul trouble and missed shot opportunities put the Tiger's in a hole.
 
Paris got off to a sluggish start trailing 11-6 after one and then things got worse as the Tiger's committed 12 second quarter turnovers and failed to hit a shot from the field and trailed 27-9 at the half.
 
The offense ended their 13-minute shooting drought with a Jessica Rose three-pointer, but Salem was still able to push their lead above 20 thanks to the play of guard Kirstie Owen. The Wildcast led 42-17 after three quarters.
 
Allison Englum hit a three pointer at the start of the fourth and the Tiger's were able to put up double digits for the first time in a quarter and closed the deficit within 20. Englum led the Tigers in scoring with 6 points, while Rose and Alexis Barnes had 4 each.
 
The loss puts the Lady Tigers at 10-6 and 3-3 in the conference, as they will travel to Mt. Zion Monday to take on the Lady Braves. That game can be heard here on Paris Country 1440 WPRS and online at wprsam.com
