WICHITA, Kan. – Wichita State women's basketball battled through 20 lead changes and a back-and-forth second half, but a late surge by Southeast Missouri State pushed the Shockers to a 69-62 loss Tuesday night inside Charles Koch Arena.
The Shockers (1-4) put together a strong third quarter, outscoring SEMO (2-2) 22-19 to take a 50-47 lead into the final frame thanks to big plays from Abby Cater, Diamond Richardson, and Jaida McDonald.
Wichita State sent the Redhawks to the line for 34 free throw attempts, and SEMO converted on 22 of those, while the Shockers shot just 3-for-10 from the charity stripe.
