BABSON PARK, Fla. (Dec. 19, 2019) – The Truett McConnell University women's basketball team led Webber University, a member of the Sun Conference, at halftime (34-29) but ultimately fell in regulation in the Webber Christmas Shootout to the home team 72-63. The Lady Bears fell to 6-5, 3-4 AAC on the season, while the Warriors improved to .500 (7-7).
 
PLAY-BY-PLAY
The first 17 minutes of regulation saw both teams exchanging back and forth the lead but once Aisya Davis forced a turnover with 3:01 to go before the half, Jordyn Wilder scored the go-ahead bucket and the Lady Bears picked up enough momentum to gain a five-point lead before the buzzer. In fact, TMU was capable of closing out the second quarter on a 7-2 run.
 
Sierra Kendall's jumper in the opening seconds of the second half game gave TMU their largest lead of the night (36-29) but the Warriors eventually outscored the Lady Bears by eight (10-18) to lead by three heading into the fourth. Webber went on to open up the fourth with a 9-3 scoring run and eventually led by as many as 10 points with 4:24 to go in regulation. Jessica Jackson drained a 3-pointer with 55 seconds remaining to put TMU within three (63-66) but the Warriors did not allow the Lady Bears to score again.
