The Charlotte 49ers suffered their second consecutive loss, falling to the UAB Blazers, 75-57 in four quarters of action. Freshman Grace Hunter secured her third double-double in the past four games while Kira Gordon led Charlotte in scoring, tallying 16 points.
The Blazers shot themselves out to a five point lead to begin the first quarter behind field goals from Deanna Kuzmanic and Brittany Winborne. Hunter and Lefty Webster then sunk their first field goals cutting the deficit to just two points. Charlotte struggled to keep up with UAB’s offensive productivity but kept themselves within striking distance. Following head coach Cara Consuegra’s late timeout at the 1:26 mark, Webster scored four unanswered points, including a buzzer-beating layup.
