UAH Comeback Effort Stymied By Union Saturday

2/20/2021 10:42:00 PM

JACKSON, Tenn. | The University of Alabama in Huntsville women's basketball team fought to the very end but ultimately fell on Saturday night, dropping a 63-59 decision at Union. The Chargers slip to 8-6 (8-6 Gulf South Conference) with the setback, while UU improves to 13-4 (13-4 GSC).
 
Turning Point
-After the Chargers went on an 11-0 run that saw a Holly Harris 3-pointer push the Chargers in front and an Alexis Woods free throw made it a 59-57 lead for the guests with 1:24 left in the game, but Union would score the final six points to secure the win.
 
Inside the Box Score
-The Chargers had three reach double figures, led by Sloan Mann who knocked down five 3-pointers on her way to scoring 17.
-Selena Pruitt recorded a double-double in the game, scoring 12 while snagging a team-high 10 rebounds.
-Rounding out UAH's double-figures contingent, Alex Woods chipped in with 11 while also gathering eight rebounds.
-For the game, the Chargers 34.9 percent and made 11 3-pointers, and UAH held the hosts to a 39.0 percent success rate from the field.
-Union won the rebounding battle by a 46-34 margin and converted that into a key 14-8 edge in second-chance points.
-UAH had just 11 turnovers in the game while forcing Union to commit 13, with the Chargers having a slight 16-15 edge in points off giveaways.
 
Noteworthy
-This is Mann's second straight game in double figures, and it is also her second consecutive game with at least five made shots from downtown.
-The double-double is the second of Pruitt's career, and her first since Jan. 25 of last year when she had 15 and 11 against Mississippi College.
-The 11 made 3-pointers represent a season-best for the Chargers.
 
Next Time Out
-The two teams will wrap up the series on Sunday with tip-off slated for 3 p.m. in Jackson.
