IOLA, Kan. – Denise Levine led three Panthers in double figures as Neosho snapped a 10 game losing streak with an 80-75 road win over rival Allen Community College Wednesday night.
 
The Panthers (10-16, 1-9) have been mired in a team wide offensive slump, but broke out as a group against Allen (5-21, 1-8). They shot 48% from the floor, their second highest total this season. They also connected on 7-13 3-point attempts while also knocking down 19-20 attempts from the foul line.
 
Neosho took control of the game midway through the first half and led the Red Devils by 10 at halftime.
 
For most of the second half the Panthers remained in control before a run by Allen in the final 5 minutes saw the Panthers lead evaporate. After Allen tied the game at 70 the Panthers grabbed the lead back and put the game away by connecting on 10-10 free throws in the final minutes.
 
Levine led the Panthers with 18 points. Olivia Uhrich and Autumn Lipscomb combined for 30 points off the bench including 4-7 from the 3-point line. Uhrich finished with 16 points while Lipscomb tallied 14.
 
Freshman Camri Burke scored a career high 8 points including 6-6 from the foul line with all of them coming down the stretch to secure the Panthers first conference win of the season.
 
The Panthers will travel to Brokwn Arrow, Okla. Thursday night for a non-conference game with Rhema Bible College before returning home February 18 when they host Coffeyville Community College.
