The UTEP women’s basketball team showed resilience late, ending the Beach Ball Classic on a 18-1 run in overtime to snap East Carolina’s five-game winning streak on Sunday afternoon in Myrtle Beach, SC.
With the victory, the Miners improved to 6-4 all-time against former Conference USA foe East Carolina and have now won the last five matchups.
ECU’s Ariyana Williams hit a three 21 seconds into the overtime period, giving the Pirates their largest lead of three (78-75) but that would be their last bucket as the Miners then scored 18 of the game’s final 19 points.
