Stalcup’s best game came against KIAC opponent Cincinnati Christian, when she went four of six from the floor, including one three point basket, and was two of two from the free throw line to finish with 11 points in the Eagles’ 103-50 thumping over the CCU Eagles.

After winning the KIAC tournament with three victories including an 87-82 overtime thriller championship game, Stalcup and her Eagles traveled to Sioux City, Iowa to compete in the NAIA Div. II women’s national championship tournament.

Stalcub and her Eagles saw the season come to an end in the game against Tabor, as the Eagles gave up an 80-73 overtime loss to the Bluejays.

Stalcup is the daughter of J.R. and Patricia Stalcup.
