NASHVILLE, Tenn. - The University of Tennessee at Martin women's basketball team led by as many as 12 points early in the second half tonight on the road against Lipscomb, but a late comeback by the Lady Bisons ended in a 61-56 loss for the Skyhawks, who fall to 0-2 on the 2008-2009 season.
Yalonda Davis led the Skyhawks with 11 points, while Phyllisha Mitchell nearly missed a double-double, scoring eight points but grabbing 17 rebounds, just two shy of her career-high set against Murray State on Feb. 24, 2007. Sienna Forney and Cali Cupples also chipped in eight points apiece for the Skyhawks, who had eight players score four points or more.
The Skyhawks shot 40 percent for the game, going 21-of-53 from the field, but couldn't hold a 27-20 halftime lead and got outscored 41-29 in the second half by the Lady Bisons.
