ARLINGTON, Texas - The University of South Alabama's women's basketball team (9-18, 4-12) fell 53-41 to Texas-Arlington (19-7, 11-4) on Saturday afternoon at College Park Center. The Mavericks led for almost the entire game and pulled away from the Jaguars in the third quarter with a 15-2 run that lasted for over six minutes.
"We had difficultly all game getting the ball inside," said South Alabama head coach Terry Fowler. "Rebekah VanDijk was pretty tough against us, especially with Chyna Ellis trying to use her back to the basket offense. We really like to try to play through our post players and go from there, but it just wasn't able to work for us today.
