1/18 Basketball Loses 56-86 vs Ferrum

MBC went on the road for another USA South Contest. The Squirrels were looking to break a losing streak and make their way up the rankings of the USA South.

 

Ferrum currently sits atop the USA South and was looking to keep their undefeated conference status alive. The teams looked even in the first half, as MBC shot a strong 42% from the
field and a perfect 8-8 from the charity stripe to be down by only
3 points, 29-32 in the first half.

MBC wouldn't be able to maintain the steady play they had put out
in the first half. The offense of the Panthers opened up due to the
strong 48% shooting and by getting to the free-throw line. MBC
would struggle to shoot as wells as they had earlier and drop the
game 56-86.

Christie Hamilton led the team with 19 points and Iiesha Ricks
added 14 points. Kara Hawkins grabbed 17 rebounds and added
7 points points.

The Squirrels are back home on Wed, Jan 21st to face the Hornets of
Shenandoah at 7pm.
