Wildcats bounce back with win over Providence

After a triumphant victory over Penn, the women’s basketball team (14-8 overall, 7-4 in the Big East) had a Big East conference weekend road trip. The trip included having to play Creighton on Friday then Providence on Sunday. The Wildcats suffered a hard-fought loss to Creighton (53-48), but bounced back with impressive win over Providence (76-47).

Friday night in Nebraska, standout guard and senior captain, Caroline Coyer, continued her dominance in the backcourt as she recorded 15 points and grabbed six rebounds against the stingy Blue Jays’ defense.

Coyer drained two threes during an 8 – 0 run that gave her Wildcats a 34 – 27 lead with roughly two minutes left in the third quarter.
