Final Stats
HUNTINGTON, W. Va. - The UNO women's basketball team rallied from a double-digit second-half deficit to take the lead at Marshall, but in the end, the Thundering Herd were too much for the Mavericks, outlasting UNO 54-48 Sunday afternoon at the Cam Henderson Center.
UNO was playing just its second game this year against a Division I opponent. Marshall (3-2), a Conference USA member, held off the feisty Mavericks down the stretch to drop UNO to 3-3 on the year in a game in which the lead changed hands 13 times.
The Mavericks trailed by 11 early in the second half, 32-21, but got back into the game with a 16-4 run spanning 7:06 to take a 37-36 lead. With the game tied at 41-41 with 7:21 remaining, Rese Huddlin sank a free throw to notch a one-point lead for the Mavs, 42-41. However, Marshall scored the next eight points to take a 49-42 lead with 5:10 to play.
UNO whittled the lead back down to three at 51-48 on two Jamie Nash free throws with 1:11 left. After Marshall missed a jumper on its next possession, Nash was fouled but couldn't connect on the free throws with 42 seconds remaining.
Marshall then grabbed two offensive rebounds on its following possession. Leandra King was fouled with 13 seconds left and drained two free throws to extend the lead to 53-48. Nash's 3-pointer with seven seconds left missed, and Marshall knocked down one more late free throw to claim the win.
Heather Pohl led UNO with 11 points. The senior also had seven rebounds. Pohl was 3-for-8 from 3-point range, giving her 123 career 3-pointers, which ranks her sixth in school history. Pohl needs just seven more to move into sole possession of fifth place.
Paige Frauendorfer had 10 points and 11 rebounds for her second double-double of the season. Taijhe Kelly chipped in a career-high eight points on a perfect shooting day -- 3-of-3 from the floor and 2-of-2 at the free throw line. Nash also had eight points to go along with seven steals. She now has 192 career steals, and with five more, she will break into the top 10 in career steals at UNO.
The Mavs now begin a four-game homestand with a 7 p.m. game on Thursday, Dec. 1, against York at the Sapp Fieldhouse. UNO has played just one home game in its first six games, but that will change beginning Thursday, as UNO hosts four games within a span of 10 days.
