JACKSON, Tenn. – The UWF women's basketball team had its second-lowest shooting game of the season and couldn't overcome a hot-shooting eighth-ranked Union squad in an 87-63 loss at Fred DeLay Gymnasium Saturday night.
 
UWF (10-5, 5-3 Gulf South) shot just 24 percent and gave up 42 points in the paint and 17 points off 15 turnovers.

The Argonauts trailed 33-25 at the half. UWF was just 24 percent in the opening 20 minutes and was 6-of-13 at the free throw line. They rebounded to make 11-of-12 after the break but still struggled to make just 38 percent from the floor.
 
Union (15-1, 8-0) came into the game averaging 13 made 3-pointers per game. UWF held them to just eight, but the Lady Bulldogs were 5-of-10 in the second half, including 3-of-6 in the third quarter that aided in extending the halftime lead to 17.
