FINAL

UCA 69
LIPSCOMB 60

Way to hang tough and pull off the W!

Our defense getting the rebound at 27 seconds sealed the deal.

Whats up with the crazy feedback/sounding on Steve O.'s voice, like they are putting him on the PA in the Farris? Anybody else hearing this?!

His mike picked up his transmission.

The postgame/coach's interview was piped over the FC last night. It's something that a lot of schools around the country do so we are doing it to enhance the fan involvement and experience. There was some feedback last night as we try to work out the kinks in it, but I'm sure it will all be worked out soon enough.

As for the game, the SB's looked great in the 1st half and rallied when they needed to. The first half was more like the SB's I hope we see the rest of the year. It was a good win overall, hopefully this will be the start of a nice streak of W's now.

SUGAR BEARS PULL AWAY LATE FOR 69-60 WIN OVER LIPSCOMB
11/29/2010 10:11:46 PM

CONWAY, Ark. — After getting out to a 15-point lead in the first half Central Arkansas fell into a second-half lull and nearly let one get away against Lipscomb on Monday, but a pair of timely 3-pointers and clutch free throw shooting down the stretch was enough to lift the Sugar Bears to a 69-60 win over the Lady Bisons in the Farris Center.

After leading the final 17 minutes of the first half and holding a 40-27 advantage at the break, the Sugar Bears (3-4) were unable to maintain the momentum and the Lady Bisons (2-4) continually chipped away at the deficit. It took seven minutes for Lipscomb to trim the UCA lead to three, but the Sugar Bears maintained a slight edge up until the 5:49 mark when Lipscomb's Anna Bowers tied the score at 51.

The game remained tied after a score from UCA's Destinee Rogers and a jumper from Lipsomb's Brittany Duerk. The momentum finally swung back in UCA's favor when junior guard Sidney Stewart hit two 3-pointers and got a steal that led to a pair of free throws by Rogers, putting the Sugar Bears ahead 61-55 with 2:42 to play. After a Lady Bisons turnover, Stewart found freshman center Courtney Duever for a layup to put UCA ahead eight with 2:15 left...

Sugar Bears build first-half cushion and hold off Lipscomb

University of Central Arkansas Sugar Bear coach Matt Daniel decided to tweak his lineup to an eight-player rotation.

The strategy hit an immediate snag Monday when one of the starters, Sidney Stewart, committed two fouls within 18 seconds and left the game.

But the Sugar Bears found a spark early with the inside work of Megan Herbert and outside from Desiree Rogers in producing a quick 14-2 run that held up though an up-and-down second half for a 69-60 victory over Lipscomb at the Farris Center...
