ROLLA, Mo. - Heather Pohl scored a career-high 24 points and the UNO women's basketball team defeated the Missouri S&T Lady Miners, 61-52, Thursday night at the Gale Bullman Multipurpose Building.
The Mavs improved to 2-0 to start the season, thanks to a strong second half performance over the previously unbeaten Lady Miners (2-1). UNO used a key 9-0 run midway through the second half to turn a 41-41 game into a 50-41 lead with 7:22 to play, a lead the Mavs wouldn't relinquish.
Pohl shot 8-of-14 from the field, including 4-of-7 from 3-point range. The Millard West graduate was also a perfect 4-of-4 from the free throw line and grabbed five rebounds.
Tied 25-25 at halftime, Nebraska-Omaha opened the second half with a 13-7 spurt to take a 38-32 lead. Missouri S&T responded with a 9-3 run of its own to even the game up at 41-41, setting the stage for the Mavs' decisive run.
Pohl started it off with a jumper, then made a steal and missed a 3-pointer, but Carly Cator grabbed the offensive rebound and put a layup back in to make it 45-41. Freshman Amanda Woodring then hit two free throws, and Cator hit a 3-pointer to put UNO ahead 50-41 with 7:22 left.
The Lady Miners didn't back off though, pulling back to within three points at 52-49, thanks to six points by Julie Meyer in a 1:31 span. However, the Mavs converted 5-of-6 free throws in the last five minutes to claim the win and start 2-0 for the first time since 2007.
Lauren Andrews scored nine points for the Mavs, while Jessica Zaruba and Jamie Nash each chipped in seven. Zaruba led the Mavs with six rebounds.
Meyer led Missouri S&T with 20 points. Fareedah Washington recorded a double-double with 10 points and 10 rebounds.
Next up for the Mavs is a day-after-Thanksgiving game against the Nebraska Cornhuskers at the Bob Devaney Sports Center on Friday, Nov. 26. Tip-off is set for 11 a.m.
