The University of Cincinnati women’s basketball team looked outstanding in their 2017-2018 debut, a 77-35 exhibition thumping of the Division II University of Findlay Oilers.
Cincinnati took a commanding 40-16 lead into the half. Bearcats coach Jamelle Elliott got a good long look at her roster in the exhibition, which was held at the Cincinnati State Gymnasium. Nine different Bearcats played for at least 10 minutes. A total of 12 Bearcats played in the game.
Junior guard Nikira Goings led the Bearcats with 16 points while Ana Owens and Antoinette Miller also reached double figures.
UC’s advantage on the boards was particularly pronounced, as the Bearcats outrebounded the Oilers 45-28 with Iimar’i Thomas leading Cincinnati with 11 rebounds.
