Box Score NASHVILLE, Tenn. - The Trevecca women's basketball team (1-1) dropped a 71-59 decision to NAIA #RV Georgetown College (3-0) Tuesday night at the Trojan Fieldhouse.
"I'm really disappointed in our effort tonight," said Head Coach Gary Van Atta. "It's one thing if we lose because we don't shoot the ball well, but to lose because of poor defense and a lack of effort is really frustrating."
The Trojans were outrebounded 49-39, including 25-18 on the offensive glass, which led to a 23-10 advantage in second chance points for the Tigers. And after shooting just 23.5% (8-34) in the first half, the Tigers knocked down 50% (18-36) of their shots in the second half, turning a 26-26 game at the half into a 12-point victory.
"I asked the girls at halftime what the score was, and they said 'it's 0-0,'" added Coach Van Atta. "So I told them to go out and win the second half and let's win this game, but that just didn't happen."
Shenita Gleaves led the Trojans with 16 points, and added six rebounds, three assists, and a steal.
Anissa Ragland and
Lauren Wasson added 10 points apiece, while
Rachel Raby chipped in nine points and nine rebounds. Georgetown placed three players in double figures, led by Andrea Howard's 17 points.
For the game, Trevecca shot 33% (19-57) from the field, 28% (5-18) from three-point range, and 67% (16-24) from the free throw line. Georgetown shot 37% (26-70) overall, 32% (6-19) from beyond the arc, and 68% (13-19) from the charity stripe. The Trojans turned the ball over 21 times, compared to 17 for Georgetown, but the Tigers finished with a 21-10 edge in points off turnovers.
"We've got to get back to work," said Coach Van Atta. "We've got another really good team in Campbellsville coming in here Friday night, and we've got to be ready, or we're going to have the same result as tonight."
Trevecca will host the Pops Duncan Classic this weekend at the Trojan Fieldhouse. Friday night at 7 p.m., the Trojans will take on NAIA No. 8 Campbellsville (2-0). Saturday afternoon, Trevecca will battle Talladega College (1-1) at 2 p.m.
