WSU struggles offensively in season-opening loss

Wichita State senior Maya Brewer goes up for a shot in the paint during the game against Northern Iowa on Saturday, Nov. 9.

The Wichita State women’s basketball team opened up their season Saturday with a 50-61 loss to former conference rivals Northern Iowa.

The Panthers held the Shockers to 30% shooting from the field and just 8% from behind the three-point line.

“Free throw wise, we were 13-24 and 1-12 on three point line. We missed layups and two footers,” Head Coach Keitha Adams said. “So, shooting and making plays, finishing at the rim, knocking down two-foot shots and free throws — you know, if we did that, you got a different situation.
