URBANA, Ohio-The Mustangs were unable to find a rhythm from the floor against a tough Urbana University squad on Saturday. The Blue Knights (NCAA Division 2) dominated on the defensive end by holding the visiting Mustangs to a chilly 21% (16-for-76) shooting from the field.
Freshman standout
Keara Marks (Detroit, Mich.)
led the Mustangs once again. The athletic forward has been a shining star over
the Mustangs last five games despite a subpar 2-3 record during that span.
Marks' was the lone Mustang in double figures with 10 points. She added a
career-high 14 rebounds (six offensive) in the loss. Marks was followed by junior
forward Ebony Jackson (Ferndale, Mich.)
with a balanced line of 8 points, 7 rebounds, 4 steals, and 2 blocks.
On Wednesday, the Mustangs travel to NCCAA upstart Kuyper College. The Cougars were on the losing end of the first battle between the two teams this season (83-47 Mustangs 11/10/09). Tip-off is set for 6pm.
