UTC Mocs logoASHEVILLE, N.C. – The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga’s long win streak was never really in doubt Saturday at Kimmel Arena.
The top seed in the Southern Conference women’s basketball tournament, UTC overcame some lackadaisical stretches before cruising to its 17th consecutive win, 78-53, against No. 8 seed Georgia Southern.
In many ways, the game was decided on the perimeter. Offensively, UTC (27-3) went 11-for-23 from 3-point range. Defensively, the Lady Mocs played much better defense around the arc in the second half.
UTC point guard Alex Black tied a career high with three 3s and led the Lady Mocs with 13 points.
“I wanted to come out shooting well because I hadn’t been the past couple of games, so I just focused on that,” Black said.
