It’s a known fact that the perfect remedy for losing is winning. The Charlotte 49ers women’s team definitely took their medicine on Saturday, holding on for a 78-61 road win over the Southern Mississippi Eagles. Charlotte was led by Nyilah Jamison-Myers’ 23 points and seven rebounds, but she had help. All five starters scored in double figures. Grace Hunter had 21 points, six boards and five assists, Lefty Webster had 14 points, and Laia Raventos and Ciara Gregory scored 10 apiece.
The Niners raced off to a great start, scoring at will and converting 10 of their 16 field goal attempts.
