Fourth Quarter Woes Hinder Hens in 61-57 Loss at Charlotte
12/17/2019 2:43:00 PM | Women's Basketball
CHARLOTTE, N.C. – It was a heartbreaker for the second straight game as Delaware fell to Charlotte, 61-57, at Dale F. Halton Arena Monday afternoon.
The Blue Hens shot 40.0 percent (20-for-50) to enter the fourth quarter but tallied just seven points while shooting 13.6 percent from the field in the final stanza.
Delaware opened the game on a 6-0 run and led by as much as 11 in the third quarter while holding the upper hand for more than 30 minutes of the contest. The 49ers jumped on the Hens in the fourth quarter and held UD scoreless for the first five minutes of the frame while going up by as much as five.
Samone DeFreese tied things at 57 with 1:32 remaining, but four Charlotte free throws and three missed shots for Delaware wrapped up the contest with the Niners ahead.
Jasmine Dickey led the Hens with 13 points while Nicole Enabosi tallied 11 points and nine rebounds. DeFreese added nine points and nine rebounds of her own in the loss.
POST-GAME QUOTES
Head Coach Natasha Adair
"We got the looks we wanted and I'm okay with the people who took those shots, but you have to knock them down. In games like this, it's going to come down to a singular possession. I saw a fight in this team that I hadn't seen yet this season. There's a bit more we need to finish, and it's definitely knocking down those big shots when we need them. The fourth quarter is winning time. I thought if there was a hustle-meter, we won that. We were on the 50-50 balls and won the rebounding stat which are two things I've challenged them to do. I'm proud of this group that they kept fighting until the final buzzer. We just have to continue to grind it out. We want to be our best team as conference play starts. And if this is any indicator of our will and our fight, we'll be okay."
