MONTEVALLO, Ala. – The UWF women's basketball team suffered a tough start the third quarter and fell to Montevallo, 65-54, at Trustmark Arena on Monday night.
 
UWF (4-10, 0-6 Gulf South) shot 31 percent and made a season-high seven 3-pointers. The Argonauts also controlled the glass with a 50-38 rebounding edge.
 
"We just couldn't score early in the third," UWF head coach Stephanie Lawrence Yelton said. "We went a few possessions where we didn't score and they did. We just couldn't get back into the game after that."
 
Danielle Norquest finished with 21 points and 17 rebounds, posting another double-double. This one – her NCAA-leading 11th – was accomplished by halftime. Faithe Franklin grabbed 11 rebounds and added four assists, three steals and nine points.
