CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Charlotte women's basketball jumped out to a 9-0 start and never looked back, as it knocked off UTEP 62-53 in the first of two games between the Conference USA programs inside Halton Arena this weekend.
FROM THE OPENING TIP
The 49ers gained control of the contest from the onset, netting the first-nine points and forcing the Miners into an early timeout at 6:59. Freshman Jacee Busick had four points during the stretch, while senior Octavia Jett-Wilson, the Feb. 16 ESPN.com National Player of the Week, had an old-fashioned three-point play.
