Box Score MOREHEAD, Ky. - Pulling away in the second half, the University of Evansville women's basketball team picked-up its second road victory of the season, 75-65, over Morehead State on Friday evening in Morehead, Ky.

For the second-time this year, senior guard/forward Abby Feit scored 27 points, narrowly missing a double-double with eight boards in the win. Capturing a second-straight double-double, redshirt junior Barbora Tomancova tallied 11 points and 12 boards on the night, while fifth-year guard Myia Clark also finished in double-figures with 12 points. The Eagles were led by Veronica Charles, who finished with 19 points to pace Morehead State.

Much like Saturday's matchup with Miami (Ohio), it took a minute or two for the Aces to settle into the contest. Morehead State grabbed an early lead at 11-7, but Evansville battled back with the help of Tomancova. The Eagles lead would grow as large as six in the first quarter, but Tomancova continued to assert herself in the post, getting to the line to score eight of UE's first 12 points. Following Tomancova's early strong form, Feit stepped up, going on a personal 8-0 run to close the opening period and giving Evansville the 19-18 lead after 10 minutes of play.

The lead stayed with the Aces for much of the second period before the home side battled back to retake the lead inside the final four minutes of the half. As the opening half waned, Feit again went on her own run, scoring the last six points of the half to give UE a four-point lead going to the half.

Out of the break, Evansville continued to hold its lead, but Morehead State had another challenge in it. After the Eagles came back to tie the game at 36 with 7:44 left in the third, the Aces used a key stretch to take the lead and open up their advantage. A 13-2 Evansville run gave the Aces a double-digit lead, spurred by triples from A'Niah Griffin and Kynidi Mason Striverson. In all, the Aces out-scored Morehead State 25-12 in the third period as UE held a 59-42 lead.

The Eagles pushed UE one final time, cutting the Aces advantage as low as six with 4:10 left in the game. Evansville responded immediately with a bucket of its own as Newman hit a layup to answer the Eagles. Over the final minutes, the Aces got another important three from Feit and converted at the free-throw line to secure the 10-point victory.

Evansville gets nearly a week to. recoup before heading back on the road for a matchup with Bellarmine at 5:30 PM (CT) on Thursday, December 8 in Louisville, Ky.
