NACOGDOCHES, Texas – The Seattle U Redhawks kept it close but the shooting stroke abandoned them in a 57-76 loss at Stephen F. Austin. The Redhawks had it within single digits in the fourth quarter but couldn't find the final push.
Three-point shooting made the difference in the game, with Stephen F. Austin outscoring Seattle U by 18 from beyond the arc. After a low-scoring, defensive first half, the Redhawk offense opened up in the second, scoring 20 in the third quarter and 16 in the fourth while shooting over 40% from the field.
"We worked to get on the offensive glass and earned some points," said Suzy Barcomb about the Redhawks' 14 offensive rebounds. "At times we disrupted their offense, but they are an incredibly talented team."
Georgia Kehoe's ten points were the team high tonight, with the Australian also recording two blocks for her fourth game of multiple blocks this season. Calhoun had nine points and Taliyah Clark eight off the bench, helping the Redhawks to 31 bench points.
"The bench production was tremendous tonight and much needed as we've been looking for consistency in our point production," said Barcomb.
The Redhawks have one more game in Texas this weekend. Seattle U will play at Sam Houston on Saturday, January 29 at 1:00 pm PT.
