The Cincinnati Bearcats women’s basketball team had a fantastic Friday evening.
In front of a home crowd at Fifth Third Arena, UC took care of business against the Howard Bison, posting an 85-51 win in the Bearcats’ non-conference finale.
The win cemented an 8-5 mark for Cincinnati in the first semester, putting them in position to compete for a post-season tournament heading into AAC league play.
The Bearcats jumped to a 19-7 lead after the first quarter and never looked back. Cincinnati’s robust frontcourt continued its early season dominance of the boards, holding a 50-29 advantage over Howard on the glass.
