Hands UT Pan American 87-67 Loss in Women’s Basketball Saturday EDINBURG
– Belmont University had five players score in double figures and
defeated the University of Texas-Pan American in women’s basketball
action Saturday night at the UTPA Fieldhouse. The Bruins
(11-13) took control of the game early on and never looked back in the
win. Leading just 12-8 with
13:06 left in the half, the Bruins slowly pulled away, outscoring the
Lady Broncs 25-13 over the next 12 minutes to take a 16-point lead.
It got no better in the second half as the Bruins led by as much
as 25 before settling for the 20-point win. Candice
Mitchell hit on 10-of-12 shots from the field for a team-leading 22
points. Chasity Campbell and Tara Montgomery each added 18 points,
while Natalie Brown had 13 and Miranda Jones scored 11. Cheveron Terry and Alexis Williams led the Lady Broncs with
15 points each. UTPA’s
Naima Williams was held to held lowest point total of the season, five,
on 1-of-5 shooting from the field. For the
game the Bruins shot a sizzling 60.0% (33-55) from the field and 89.5%
(17-19) from the free throw line. Belmont
also had 13 steals, including a game-high seven from Montgomery. “The
slow start had everything to do with the outcome of the game,” said
UTPA Head Coach Karin Nicholls. “We did not come out of the gate strong.
We did not enter the game with enough positive energy and that
affected the entire game. We did not play good one-on-one defense.
We had no good rotation and they were shouting lay-ups with no
one on them, so we need to work on defense.” The Lady Broncs (11-14) will return to action on Thursday, February 15th, at 7:30 p.m. against Houston Baptist (21-6) in Houston. UTPA defeated the #22 ranked (NAIA) Huskies 76-64 in Edinburg on January 10th. |
