Nyilah Jamison-Myers looked like her old self on the way to recording 17 points and 10 rebounds for a double-double, but the Charlotte 49ers were unable to defeat the visiting Rice Owls, losing 62-55. Jamison-Myers was flanked in double-figures by Laia Raventos’ 16 points, five dimes and three steals, and Octavia Wilson’s 10 points. However, the Niners missed all 11 of their three-point attempts and couldn’t stay afloat in the first half.
Wendy Knight paced the Owls with 16 points and four rebounds to go with her three three-pointers. Her last shot from behind the arc came late in the shot clock with less than 90 seconds remaining that gave Rice a 10-point cushion.
