GEORGETOWN, TEXAS - Southwestern women's basketball met a tough battle on Friday night when they faced the Centenary College Ladies at the Gold Dome in Shreveport, Louisiana. 

Each team struggled shooting early on in the contest and both offenses struggled in through the entire first half of the game. The Pirates shot the ball at just 22.5 percent in the first half, while the Ladies were even lower at 18 percent. The lack of three-point production efficiency from either side did not help; the Pirates went 0-10 from behind the arc, while the Ladies only managed one good three-pointer. 

The Ladies let by one point going into halftime with a score of 22-21. Centenary was able to stay in the game solely by their fantastic free throw efficiency in the first half. The Ladies went 11-12 from the free throw line, helping them take the lead of the game. 

Each offense was more lively in the second half. Centenary was able to find a shooting rhythm, putting up a game-high nineteen points in the third quarter, while the Pirates found offensive production as well, finishing with seventeen points scored in the third. 

Centenary led the Pirates 41-38 headed into the fourth quarter. The Ladies were able to maintain the offensive energy they had coming out of halftime, scoring eighteen points in the fourth. The Pirates weren't able to keep up with the Ladies despite shooting 55 percent from the field in the second half. 

The Ladies pulled away from the Pirates, and one glance at the box score tells the whole story. Centenary shot thirty-six free throws and made good on twenty-nine of them, allowing the Ladies to reach a 50-59 victory over Southwestern.
