Mighty Oaks Get Hot Late to Down the Phoenix

OWENSBORO, Ky. - - The Cumberland Women's Basketball team dropped their second game at the Brescia Classic, 69-48.

Emaleigh Tarpley got things started off hot for the Phoenix, hitting two back-to-back shots to give Cumberland their only lead of the quarter. After that early battle the Might Oaks took the lead from the Phoenix and didn't look back for the rest of the quarter.

Oakland City hit five straight free throws to give themselves momentum going into the second quarter, but it was CU who came out firing. Mariyah Person hit a three in the first possession of the quarter and it sparked a run where the Phoenix outscored the Might Oaks 15-11, taking just a two point deficit into the break.

Faith Colston hit a three to open the second half, giving Cumberland their first lead in nearly ten minutes, though it was short lived. Countering quickly, Oakland City hit a big three pointer to take the lead right back from CU, a lead which they held for the remainder of the game.

The Mighty Oaks took a nine point lead into the final frame and added to it quickly, scoring five points before the Phoenix could respond. In a quarter with less positives for Cumberland, the team did manage to hit three three-pointers, seeing Faith Colston shoot 50% from beyond the arc.

The final score of the game ended at 69-48 in favor of the Mighty Oaks, aided by a big fourth quarter to seal the game. Marley Hyde had a great game for Cumberland, tying for the team lead with 9 points and bringing down 5 boards.

Cumberland will be back in action on Monday in an exhibition match against DI opponents, Tennessee State University. Tip Off is scheduled foe 5 PM.
