The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga women’s basketball team used a couple of timely runs and solid shooting and defense in each half to overcome pesky Belmont for a 60-48 win Thursday in Nashville.
UTC (5-3) used a 20-6 run capped by a Destiny Bramblett 3-pointer to build a 28-12 lead, and the Mocs held a double-digit lead for most of the rest of the contest.
“I thought we got off to a decent start, made some shots early and did a pretty good job defensively,” UTC coach Jim Foster said on the postgame radio show. “Until the last five or six minutes I thought we did a pretty good job, but then we got careless with the ball.
“But I thought our defense stayed aggressive and did what it had to do through the course of the night.”
Jasmine Joyner led UTC with 13 points, and she had seven rebounds and six blocked shots while staying out of foul trouble with only two fouls for the game.
