Following a nail-biter win over top-25 opponent North Carolina State on Thursday night, the women’s basketball team traveled to Coral Gables, Fla. to take on the University of Miami. The Jackets hoped to continue the momentum from their upset and defeat a hot Hurricane squad.
The game was close the whole way. Miami took a first quarter lead, but the Jackets were quick to respond, shrinking that lead to only one at the half. The Jackets’ run was due in part to a fantastic play by senior center Nerea Hermosa and a buzzer beater three by freshman guard Tonie Morgan.
