Women’s Basketball Blows Second Double-Digit Fourth Quarter Lead This Season in Conference Opener

Sierra DaCosta drained a three-pointer with 13 seconds left to cap a 17-2 fourth quarter run to push East Carolina past SMU 50-46 at Moody Coliseum.

SMU led by eleven points with just over nine minutes left in the fourth quarter before making just one shot for the rest of the game.

“It looks like our young ladies were playing not to lose the game,” head coach Travis Mays said. “We are turning the ball over in the crucial situations where we have a chance to win the game or close the game out, and we didn’t do a good job of that.
