CANCUN, MEXICO --- The Lady Mocs played their fourth game in a week and came away with a 75-52 win over San Francisco Friday afternoon in women's basketball action at the Caribbean Classic at the Moon Palace Resort in Cancun, Mexico.
The Lady Mocs improve to 8-4 overall while the Dons fall to 3-8 on the year.
Junior Jenaya Wade-Fray scored a season-high 16 points, had four steals and three assists to lead
“We had a lot of people contribute today,” Lady Mocs head coach Wes Moore said. “Jenaya came out with a lot of energy. When she brings her energy, we're a lot better team. Of course, it helps when we shoot the ball the way we did.”
After San Francisco got out to a four-point lead to start the game, the Lady Mocs replied with an 8-2 run to take an 8-6 lead with 15:40 to go in the first half and never trailed again.
The Dons put a crimp in Shanara Hollinquest and the Lady Mcos' inside game early, so Chattanooga took to the perimeter draining six 3-pointers in the first half and spread out the offense getting five or more points from six different players in the half.
“They were committed to keeping Shanara from doing a whole lot of scoring down there on the block,”
After leading 40-25 at the break,
Hollinquest and Erin Ogan each had 10 points and five rebounds while Hollinquest tied here career-high for assists with four. Mason had nine points in the game and pulled down a game-high seven rebounds and dished out four assists.
The Lady Mocs are back in action for their fifth game in eight days and fourth on the road in that same time on Saturday. UTC will take on
