Excerpt from the Dayton Daily News
The Wright State women’s basketball team is in the midst of a turnaround season, and its rousing success had many wondering how much further it had to go to catch the top of the Horizon League.
Short answer: Not much.
The Raiders dropped a 75-63 decision Sunday to defending champion and preseason favorite Green Bay, the only team in the league without a conference loss.
Frigid first-half shooting was crippling. But after falling behind by as many as 23, they cut the deficit to 59-52 on Makiya Miller’s 3 with 6:15 to left and were competitive the rest of the way.
“We knew we had to shoot well to beat these guys. That was the story of our preparation. We got great shots early on. We just didn’t knock them down,” coach Kari Hoffman said.
“We shot awesome on Friday night (in a 77-70 win over Milwaukee), and you have that same confidence. They just didn’t fall, and there were a couple that even went halfway down and popped back out. That’s really frustrating against a team that you’ve got to be literally perfect to beat them.”
