Lady Cougars Win at UM-Dearborn

DETROIT, Mich. – The (RV) Mount Vernon Nazarene University women’s basketball team (1-1, 0-0 CL) defeated the University of Michigan-Dearborn (1-3, 0-0 WHAC) by a final score of 95-75 on the road on Thursday, November 3.

Dearborn played inspired ball in the first half, as the Wolverines clawed themselves back into the game before halftime. Despite an inconsistent first half, MVNU held a 39-35 lead at the break. Dearborn came out strong as it went on a quick 5-0 run to start the third quarter. MVNU decided to pick up the defensive pressure, which helped it reclaim the lead heading into the fourth. A big three by Emily Walker to end the period put the Lady Cougars up 66-59.

The momentum from Walker’s three carried over into the fourth quarter. The defensive intensity continued to pick up, and MVNU was able to deliver the knockout punches that it needed to extend its lead. In the end, MVNU walked out of the gym with a 95-75 road victory.
