Early Start Pushes Dayton Over Minutewomen, 75-47
January 09, 2019 | Women's Basketball
UMass wraps up two-game road swing Sunday at La Salle
DAYTON, Ohio – University of Massachusetts women's basketball was unable to battle back from an early Dayton jump as the Minutewomen were defeated, 75-47, on Wednesday night at UD Arena. The loss drops UMass to 9-7 (1-1 Atlantic 10) and the Flyers are now 7-6 (2-0 Atlantic 10).
Â
It was a difficult shooting night for the Maroon and White, who were held to just 29 percent (16-of-55) from the field including 26 percent (10-of-38) in the first three quarters of play. Sophomore Bre Hampton-Bey was the lone double-digit scorer for Massachusetts while freshman Asia McCoy contributed seven points and a team-high five rebounds.
Â
Out of the opening tip the teams traded buckets as well as the lead, with the Minutewomen snagging a 7-6 first quarter advantage when junior Hailey Leidel knocked down a three-pointer at the 7:59 mark. Dayton, however, would counter with a 12-2 run to regain the lead and did not look back.
Â
The Flyers shot lights out in the second stanza and largely controlled the rebounding game, posting an even 50 percent from the field in the period and taking a 40-16 lead into halftime.
Â
The Minutewomen did force 21 Dayton turnovers on the night and put together a 6-0 run in the fourth quarter thanks in part to Hampton-Bey's work at the free throw line. But by that point, UD had built a margin too large to overcome.
Â
For Dayton, Jayla Scaife put down 17 points on 7-of-14 shooting and Shakeela Fowler narrowly missed a double-double with 16 points and nine rebounds.
Â
Massachusetts caps a two-game road swing on Sun., Jan. 13 at La Salle. Opening tip from Philadelphia is slated for 2 p.m. at Tom Gola Arena.
