Last Time Out

Senior Chelsea Douglas returned to form as she hit five three-pointers and led all scorers with 27 points.
Junior Dearica Hamby finished the night with 16 points and 13 rebounds. She was 7-of-11 from the floor and also blocked one shot.
Senior Lindsy Wright had her best night of the season as she scored eight points and grabbed a season-high 10 rebounds to go along with a steal and a block.
The Deacons led by just three at halftime and raced out to a nine-point lead early in the second half. But seven Wake Forest fouls in the first five minutes of the second half allowed Belmont to climb back within one a 37-36. The Deacons then committed just three fouls and held the Bruins to just 13 points over the final 15 minutes.
