Nevada Loses, 70-60, Despite Fourth Quarter Effort
The Nevada women’s basketball team hosted the Sacramento State Hornets in their home opener, losing 70-60 on Saturday, Nov. 7 at Lawlor Events Center.
Sacramento State started the scoring with 4 points by junior guard Koko Akridge, but Nevada senior guard Mahaila Harrison responded quickly with the Wolf Pack’s first points.
The Hornets offense then took over, going on an 8-point scoring run led by senior guard Natalie Picton. However, Harrison and freshman guard Delaney Arredondo connected on back-to-back 3-pointers, cutting the lead to 15-8.
Both teams traded baskets, but Akridge made her first 3-pointer to extend the Hornets’ lead back to ten.
