Ozarks Holds Off
Visiting Schreiner,
58-53
Ozarks outscored
visiting Schreiner 11-6
in the final 3:39 to
pull out a 58-53 home
win over the
Mountaineers in
Clarksville, AR.
Schreiner had erased a
deficit that was as
large as 12 points in
the second half and was
tied at 47-all before
the late run.
SU (0-7 in ASC) scored
the first four points of
the game. After
Ozarks (2-5 in ASC)
rallied, the two teams
traded scores but the
first half was more
dominated by missed
shots and fouls.
With five minutes before
halftime, UO started
pulling ahead and by
halftime the Lady Eagles
led 27-19. Neither
team shot more than 29%
from the field in the
first half and 19 fouls
were called (12 on SU).
Usually dependable
senior guard Monica
Enriquez had a
cold-shooting night.
She only scored 2 points
but had four assists and
four steals at halftime.
Early in the second
half, Ozarks built its
biggest lead of the
game. With 16:27
left, UO led 33-21.
That's when the
Mountaineers led by
senior Xandria White,
mounted its charge.
White had 15 points and
10 rebounds in the
second half and freshman
LaTisha Hall added 8
second half points as
Schreiner clawed back to
tie the score at 47-47.
For the game, White
scored 21 points and
grabbed 14 rebounds
(both season highs).
Hall added 13 points.
Enriquez never found her
shooting range, scoring
13 points under her
season average of 19 ppg,
but came up with 11
assists and 9 rebounds
in the losing effort.
Turnovers (25) and
free-throw shooting
(11-25) were two
contributing factors to
the tough loss.
Enriquez, normally one
of the ASC's best FT
shooters (88%), was only
2-7 from the line in the
game.
