Boxscore (PDF)
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – University of North Florida women's basketball could not respond to a late second-half Kennesaw State run in a 46-40 loss on Thursday night at the KSU Convocation Center.
"Typically, when you hold someone to 46 points, you should win a basketball game," said head coach Mary Tappmeyer. "I was disappointed in our defensive effort in the second half. During the first half, we had a tough time on offense, but we were making stops. In the second half, we let our inability to score effect our defensive intensity."
Both teams had a tough time shooting the ball, but UNF was only able to shot 23.0 percent (14-for-60) from the field.
Destinee Smith tallied 10 points, while Paulina Zaveckaite pulled down 15 rebounds. Janeá Williams made three blocks.
Jasmine McAllister and Deandrea Sawyers both had 10 points for Kennesaw State. McAllister also added 15 rebounds for her 11th double-double of the season.
The Owls shot 31.7 percent (19-for-60)
UNF held a clear advantage in rebounds, pulling down 55 compared to the Owls' 36.
After Williams had the Ospreys' first bucket at 17:31, UNF experienced a scoring drought that spanned almost eight minutes as the Owls built up a 9-2 lead. A layup from Zaveckaite at 9:47 ended the scoreless streak and sparked an 8-0 run that put UNF up by one. A jumper from Kadesia Johnson at 6:39 provided UNF with the 10-9 advantage. Control of the game flip-flopped between the two teams as Kennesaw State went up 16-15 on a Sawyers trey at 4:25. However, UNF finished the half on a five-point run – all from free throws – in order to take a 20-16 lead into halftime.
UNF gained a five-point lead at 13:54 as a Maiya Rumph free throw made it 27-22. However, Kennesaw State quickly tied it behind an Aareon Smith three-pointer and a Valescia Dixon layup. UNF gradually regained a five-point advantage, using a Williams layup at 8:38 to go up 36-31.
Kennesaw State responded with a 7-0 run took a 38-36 advantage with a Kelly Dulkoski trey at 6:13. Although a layup from Destinee Smith evened the game at 38-38 at 4:21, the Owls used a six-point run to pull away and went up 44-38 at 1:25. Two free throws from Amber Robinson pulled UNF to within four, but Kristina Wells connected on two free throws with 13 seconds to go for the game's final points.
UNF finishes the first half of conference play at USC Upstate on Saturday. Tip-off is set for 2 p.m., and will air live on ESPN3.
