UCC Riverhawks Womens Basketball 66-73 South Puget Sound

Despite a strong offensive showing that produced 66 points, the UCC Riverhawks women's basketball team couldn't quite match South Puget Sound's firepower in a 73-66 road loss Tuesday night. The Riverhawks kept pace with their hosts throughout the non-conference matchup, but seven points proved to be the difference in what became a back-and-forth affair in Olympia, Washington.

UCC's ability to reach the 66-point threshold on the road demonstrated the team's continued offensive development, though it wasn't enough to overcome South Puget Sound's balanced attack. The Riverhawks showed resilience throughout the contest, answering scoring runs and staying within striking distance despite playing away from home.

The loss drops UCC to 23-10 overall, but the strong season record reflects a program that has found its rhythm heading into the final stretch. With 33 games played, the Riverhawks have shown remarkable consistency and competitive fire against quality opponents.

The seven-point margin suggests this was a competitive battle between two well-matched teams, with South Puget Sound making just enough plays down the stretch to secure the victory. For UCC, the ability to score effectively on the road bodes well for upcoming challenges.

The Riverhawks will look to bounce back from this setback as they continue building toward postseason play, carrying forward the offensive confidence displayed in this hard-fought contest.
