B-CU women commit just 8 turnovers, rout UNC Asheville

DELAND, Florida  Bethune-Cookman built a 40-16 halftime lead and committed its fewest turnovers since the 2002-03 season in a 74-57 rout of UNC Asheville as part of the Hatter Classic at the Edmunds Center.

“We did a great job of starting the game ahead and taking care of the easy shots we were given,” Wildcats coach Vanessa Blair said. “I thought it was a very good team win.”

B-CU (4-5) had just eight turnovers and was led by 15-point nights from Chastity Rene Taylor and Terrenisha Hollis to cruise past the Bulldogs (2-9).

In the second half, UNC Asheville rode long-range shooting to cut B-CU's lead to 13 points with just under three minutes to go.

However, Hollis and Sharnese Neal hit free throws in the final two minutes to seal the game.

“It was refreshing to see them pull together, knock down their free throws at the end of the game and finish the game with a significant advantage,” Blair said.
