Thunderbirds (2-2) play next at Air Force on Wednesday, Nov. 18
CEDAR CITY - Southern Utah women's basketball lost 72-69 at Washington State Friday night in a game SUU Athletics says saw nearly 50 fouls called.
What it means for you: The Thunderbirds (2-2) play next at Air Force at 6:30 p.m. MT Wednesday, Nov. 18, according to the recap's next-game listing.
SUU held Washington State scoreless for the first eight minutes of the second quarter and led 26-24 at halftime. The Thunderbirds led 46-43 after three quarters and 62-60 with two minutes to play, before a 7-0 Washington State run made it 67-62 with 38 seconds left. Bella Hasan's layup and Brooklyn Fely's three-point play pulled SUU within two, but the Cougars made their free throws to close it out.
Ava Uhrich led SUU with 19 points and 11 rebounds. Fely added 14 points, and Morgan Trigueiro scored 12 in 11 minutes, including seven late in the third quarter. Kortney Doman made all six of her free throws and scored eight.
Foul trouble hurt us down the stretch, but I think we showed a lot of character tonight.
