The Lady Chargers couldn't throw it in the ocean most of the night, shooting only 26% in a 91-68 loss to West Florida on Saturday night. The Lady Chargers fell to 3-16 and 0-6 in the Gulf South Conference, while West Florida improved to 13-9 and 4-3.

Freshman guard Marissa Carter led UAH with 18 points and nine rebounds. She was 4-for-12 from the field, but hit 9-of-10 freethrows. Mary Virginia Reeves scored a season-high 14 points and grabbed five rebounds, while Monica Boatwright tallied 13 points and Amber Whitt pulled down 10 rebounds. Eleven of Boatwright's points came from the charity stripe. 

Amy Drake paced UWF with a game-high 23 points and eight assists. Tiffany Williams added 19 points, while Jessie Ivey contributed 12 points and six boards.

The Lady Chargers never got uncorked on offense. They hit only 9-of-31 shots in the first half, including a dismal 1-for-14 from 3-point range. They trailed by as much as 13 points, but stayed within shouting distance at halftime, facing a 46-35 deficit.

However, the second half was worse for the Lady Chargers as they hit 9-of-36 shots. Meanwhile, UWF was sailing along, knocking down 56% from the field as they pulled away.
