Duquesne Extends UTPA Women's Basketball Losing Streak to 12 Games, 87-46
PITTSBURG, PA. -- Duquesne broke a five-game losing streak with an 87-46 victory over visiting Texas-Pan American Jan. 3. Freshman Beth Friday netted a career-best 20 points and hauled down a game-high 14 rebounds for her third double-double game of the season. Sophomore Oxana Shetko chipped in a personal-best 19 points and added eight rebounds as well. The Broncs were paced by Cheveron Terry's 13 points.
The Dukes sprang to a 17-0 start holding Texas-Pan Am scoreless for nearly seven minutes and never looked back. Dquesne's largest lead of the first half was a 43-12 margin with :07 ticking. Terry netted a three-point goal at the buzzer to bring the score to a 43-15 DU lead at the break.
Duquesne held a 45-15 lead early in the second frame and would not let the Broncs closer than a 34-point grasp as they held a 73-49 lead with 6:16 remaining.
The loss was the Lady Broncs 12th straight and dropped them to 1-14 on the season. They will return to action on Wednesday, January 5th when they host the Rattlers of St. Mary's at the UTPA Fieldhouse at 7 p.m.
