BOLIVAR,
MO -- Amber Wheeler hit 29 points and Livia Brito added 12, but it
wasn't enough for the SBU Lady ‘Cats to get by the Jennies of the
University of Central Missouri. UCM defeated SBU 93-77. The Lady ‘Cats
record now stands at 8-4 overall, 0-3 in the MIAA.
The
Lady ‘Cats were out-shot in all areas. Head Coach Jim Middleton said,
“93 points are unacceptable. That is the best shooting I have seen from
Central. I was surprised that they shot so well from the 3-point
line.”
Middleton
also added “one of our goals was to rebound better, tonight we met that
goal.” Rachel Graves helped the Lady ‘Cats meet this goal with 10
rebounds, SBU outrebounded Central 44-34.
 |
| Livia Brito and Amber Wheeler were the only 2 SBU players in double figures. |
“We
have got to change our mind set, right now we are letting our offense
dictate our defense when it should be our defense that dictates our
offense.” Middleton said.
The
Lady ‘Cats will face Fort Hays on January 6, with tipoff at 5.30pm.
Middleton said “Fort Hays is a new team. We have had a lot of success
on the road so far, but have got to find a way to win this weekend.”
