Saturday afternoon, the prestigious Charlotte women’s basketball 1,000 point club opened their gates and welcomed the newest member, Kira Gordon.
In the first quarter, 5:07 illuminated from the jumbotron overhead. Griffin Dempsey dribbled into the left corner and fed Gordon on the low block. The senior corralled the left-handed bounce pass and faced up her defender despite the heavy pressure. She dribbled the ball once before electing to utilize the up-and-under move. She free’d up enough space to elevate and converted a left-handed handed layup off the glass.
And just like that, 1,191 days since her first bucket, Gordon became the 21st member of her program’s 1,000 point club.
