Lakelyn Bouldin went 5-for-6 from 3-point range in a 23-point performance to lead the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga women’s basketball team to a 71-61 victory against Saint Louis on Saturday in Charlottesville, Virginia.
The win came in UTC’s first of back-to-back games at the University of Virginia’s Cavalier Classic. At 1 p.m. today, the Mocs (4-2) will take on Central Michigan (4-1), which beat the hosts 74-61 on Saturday behind standout performances from Presley Hudson (22 points, six assists) and Reyna Frost (16 points, 10 rebounds).
Bouldin’s points were a season high for the UTC junior, who was 8-for-14 from the field overall. Sophomore teammate Brooke Burns was the only other Moc who scored in double figures, with 16 points on 5-for-8 shooting, but 11 UTC players had at least a point.
Eboni Williams led the Mocs with eight rebounds, and Burns and Mya Long each had three assists. Burns also had two steals.
The Mocs used a 14-0 run that bridged the first and second quarters to take a 22-12 lead with 7:33 left in the first half, but Saint Louis (1-4) closed to gap to 24-23 before UTC bounced back to lead 38-31 at halftime.
