Patriot Ladies Cruise to Season Opening Win over Shock

Pikeville, KY – The UC Women's Basketball opened up their 2018-2019 season on Friday in the UPike APW Classic against the Shock of Washington Adventist University. The Patriots came out and took care of business, earning the 82-48 win in the season opener. UC has now won seven of their last nine season opening contests.
 
Cumberlands opened play getting a big surge from their bench, especially Summer Cramer. She would hit three of four from deep in the quarter as UC jumped out to an 18-12 lead after one. The second quarter was another good one for the Pats as the bench continued to give a big boost. In the first half, Cumberlands had 20 points off the bench, 12 in the paint, ten off turnovers, and six off second chances as they led 37-23 at the break.
 
The Patriots began the second half on an 8-0 run in the first three minutes to extend the lead to 45-23 and never looked back. Outscoring the Shock 27-5 in the third, the Patriots led 64-28 entering the fourth. There, the Shock had their best quarter of play, but UC would nearly match every shot they took as Cumberlands would coast to the 82-48 win.
 
UC had 11 players score in the game with two tallying double digits, led by Cramer off the bench as she finished the day 6-8 from the field (4-5 3 PT) with 21 points and two assists in just over 21 minutes of play. Megan Morton added 13 points, five rebounds, and five assists in the win. The Patriots outrebounded the Shock 41-31 while shooting 46.6% from the field and 50% from deep.
 
The Shock shot 24.5% from the field in the game led by Candice Berner with 16 points. The Patriots forced 21 turnovers in the contest.
 
UC returns to action in the UPike APW Classic on Saturday, October 27th as they take on the Conquistadors of Florida National University. Tip-off is set for 4 pm.
