BREVARD, N.C. – The Meredith College women's basketball team dropped a USA South Conference road contest to Brevard College, 90–60, on Friday afternoon at Boshamer Gymnasium.

Meredith (2–8, 1–4 USA South) competed early but was unable to slow a balanced Brevard (9–3, 4–1 USA South) offense that used strong shooting and transition scoring to pull away as the game progressed.

Game Highlights

Brevard jumped out to an early lead and held a 27–18 advantage after the opening quarter. Meredith looked to settle in defensively, but Brevard continued to build momentum, taking a 45–27 lead into halftime.

The Tornados extended their lead in the third quarter behind efficient shooting and aggressive play in the paint. Meredith closed the game with its strongest offensive quarter, scoring 22 points in the fourth, but the deficit proved too large to overcome.

Sophomore Leanna Nohs led Meredith off the bench with a team-high 13 points, shooting 5-of-8 from the field and knocking down three three-pointers.

Molly Zuburg played all 40 minutes, recording five assists and four rebounds, while Jaymie Bevins chipped in six points and five rebounds.

As a team, Meredith shot 36.5 percent from the field and collected 35 rebounds, with 20 points coming from the bench.
