Efficient scoring moves C-N past No. 12 Columbus State
HARROGATE, Tenn. – Carson-Newman's (22-10) second-most efficient game of the season came at the perfect time. The Lady Eagles used 54.4 percent shooting to collect a wire-to-wire 85-73 win over four-seeded #12 Columbus State (25-5) on Friday night at Tex Turner Arena.
The Lady Eagles have now won an NCAA Tournament game each of the past three seasons. The win over the 12th-ranked Cougars is C-N's fourth ranked win this season and just the program's second ranked win at the NCAA Tournament.
"I thought we played very well in the first half and defensively we played well," Carson-Newman head coach Mike Mincey said. "We tried to take away the paint as best we could. We knew with Columbus State's pace and their platooning that we could not rely on five, six or seven players. I knew we were going to have to trust the bench and I thought we got great production out of it."
