Game Recap: Women's Basketball |

Aces late rally not enough in loss to Bradley

EVANSVILLE - In its regular-season finale, the University of Evansville women's basketball team rallied late, but fell to Bradley, 71-53, on Saturday afternoon inside Meeks Family Fieldhouse.

Prior to the game, the Aces honored senior Kaylan Coffman for her efforts for the program. Coffman appeared in 87 games, making 28 starts as an Ace, while scoring 298 points and recorded 266 rebounds in four years as an Ace. Earlier this season, Coffman moved into fourth in program history in career blocks with 104.

Junior Lola Bracy led the way for the Aces in the finale as Bracy poured-in a game-high 17 points, with 16 coming in the second half. On the Braves' side, Nyjah White powered the Bradley offense, scoring 12 points.

A third-quarter surge from the Braves proved to be the difference in the contest as Bradley came out of the half on a tear.

After the Aces battled well to come back from multiple deficits in the first half, it was all Bradley in the third quarter as the Braves used a 16-0 run out of the break to solidify its advantage at 25. The Braves led by as many as 30 in the contest at 65-35 with 5:19 left in the contest.

Evansville showed resiliency and heart late in the game, not conceding in the fourth quarter. The Aces battled back from their 30-point deficit to limit the Braves' final advantage to 18 at the final buzzer as Evansville closed the game on a 16-4 run in the loss to the Braves.

Evansville next heads to the postseason as the No. 10 seed at Hoops in the Heartland where the Aces will face No. 7 seed Southern Illinois on Thursday night in Moline, Ill.
