The Charlotte 49ers fell to the Demon Deacons in the final seconds of a first round matchup in the Women’s National Invitation Tournament, 72-69. After pulling within one late in the fourth quarter, Wake Forest created a turnover on the 49ers final possession to seal their victory.
“It was a great battle from two teams that wanted to win,” head coach Cara Consuegra said. “I thought we were phenomenal defensively. I thought Wake Forest really struggled to score against us. I thought we played their stuff really well. I thought our scouting report done by the staff was fantastic.
