Ramblers Continue to Create Momentum in the Fourth Quarter
Junior guard Tiara Wallace dribbles around a Indiana St. Player.The Loyola women’s basketball team (9-7, 3-2) has settled into a trend of unexpected fourth quarter comebacks this season. Although head coach Kate Achter and the players can’t pin it to a specific cause, some credit their success to a mix of experience, ability to adjust and motivation to close out tough games.
In 10 out of the 16 games the Ramblers have played as of Jan. 20 — six of which were wins — the fourth quarter was the one with most or tied for the most points. In 11 out of 16 games, the team scored more points in the second half than the first.
