PEORIA, Ill. – Senior forward Leti Lerma (Muscatine, Iowa/Muscatine) turned in a double-double to pace three Braves in double figures as she helped the Bradley women's basketball team to a 62-45 victory over Missouri-St. Louis Saturday at Renaissance Coliseum in the lone exhibition of 2016-17 for the Braves.
After a slow start, sophomore Vanessa Markert (Mt. Sterling, Ill./Brown County) got free on the inside for a pair of baskets midway through the first quarter and Lerma had a personal 8-0 run of her own as Bradley scored 12 consecutive points. The Braves held the Tritons to one point over the final five and a half minutes of the first and led 16-6 at the end of the opening period.
