St. Joseph-Ogden was held to one third-quarter field goal on Monday and suffered a 49-40 Illini Prairie Conference girls’ basketball loss at Unity.

Alyssa Hamilton hit the lone Spartan basket in the third quarter. Teammate Ashlyn Lannert’s two free throws accounted for the other SJ-O points in the stanza.

Unity expanded a 26-23 halftime lead into a 38-27 cushion after three quarters.

Four Spartans ended with six points apiece: Taylor Barnes, Katie Cramer, Atleigh Hamilton and Lannert.

SJ-O is 15-6 overall and will try to break a two-game losing skid tonight at home against Prairie Central. The Spartans are 2-2 in IPC games.
