Miami was unable to sustain its undefeated start to the regular season, losing 62-47 to the Washington State Cougars in their first matchup of the Baha Mar Hoops Pink Flamingo Championship on Thursday.
Senior guards Karla Erjavec and Mykea Gray combined for 18 points to lead the Hurricanes, despite the Cougars’ 8-for-12 mark early. Miami (4-1) rallied for 16 points in the second period while keeping Washington State (4-0) to seven.
“There’s no question that we are very disjointed and aren’t really a smooth offensive team,” Miami head coach Katie Meier said. “Washington State made some great adjustments at halftime and really got after it and we couldn’t overcome that gap.
