Anderson, S.C. - After their second three-game win streak of the season, the Newberry Women's basketball team lost their first game in 10 days to the Trojans of Anderson University. AU won by a final score of 69-35, on the way to their seventh-straight victory. Newberry drops to 9-14 (9-11 SAC) on the season. Anderson improves to 16-8 and 16-4 in South Atlantic Conference play. 

RECAP

Newberry came into Wednesday's matchup riding the momentum of a 74-72 double overtime win at Lincoln Memorial on Monday (Feb. 7). Anderson had other plans though as their six-game win streak was on the line.

Giulia Bongiorno scored the Wolves first points, followed by a Courtney Virgo triple to cut AU's early eight point lead down to five (10-5). The Trojans would then proceed to execute their best defensive game of the year by going on a 29-7 run to head into halftime with a 39-12 lead. 

Newberry scored just six points in each of the first three quarters before outscoring Anderson 17-10 in the fourth quarter. But by then the lead was just too unbearable for the Wolves as the Trojans would hold on to win by 34 points (69-35). 

Senior Talia Roberts provided solid points off the bench scoring a team-high 11 points, and grabbing a season-high six rebounds in the loss. 

UPCOMING SCHEDULE

The Newberry Women's basketball team returns home Saturday (Feb. 12) to face the Lincoln Memorial Railsplitters in their annual Play4Kay Game. Tipoff is set for 2 p.m. inside Eleazer Arena.
