The 2012-13 season came to an end on Saturday afternoon for the Ursuline Arrows women's basketball team as the Arrows were eliminated in the opening round of the Great Midwest Athletic Conference Championship by the No. 4 seed Central State University, 72-47.
Central State improved to 16-11 and earned the right to head to Nashville for Friday’s (March 8) G-MAC semifinal against regular season champion and top seeded Trevecca Nazarene Trojans. The Arrows finish the season with a 4-22 record.
Central State's Tanija Beasley, who went for 12 points and 11 boards in the Feb. 23 meeting between the two teams, recorded another double-double with 19 points and 11 rebounds and added four assists.
Arrows sophomore point guard Brianna Woods led the Arrows with 17 points on 7-18 shooting. She also handed out four assists to give her 137 this year, a total that established a new single season record. Her classmate Darria Baker chipped in 11 points and added three rebounds and two steals.
The Marauders outrebounded the Arrows 52-36 on Saturday and held Ursuline to 17 of 62 shooting (27.4 percent) from the field. One of the conferences best long range shooting teams, the Arrows connected on just four of their 24 three-point attempts (16.7 percent).
