Wesleyan Basketball Drops Conference Match-up with Spelman
The Wesleyan College basketball team dropped its conference match-up with Spelman College by a score of 62-43 on Saturday afternoon.
Playing without the services of injured point guard Erinn Williams, the Pioneers struggled to find an offensive rhythm throughout the game. Accumulating 26 turnovers (19 in the first half) and shooting only 23% from the floor, Wesleyan was left searching for someone to replace the leadership of Williams. Despite the poor shooting percentage, the Pioneers were able to outscore Spelman in the second half by two points thanks in part to 15-19 shooting from the charity stripe.
The Pioneers were led by Bridney Green's double-double (13 points and 10 rebounds), while Ciara Walker pitched in 11 points and grabbed 7 rebounds. The Jaguars were paced by Tiana Welch and Amanda Alexander, who scored 18 and 14 points respectively.
Wesleyan has a quick turnaround as they return to action tomorrow afternoon at Maryville College. Tip-off is at 2:00pm.
