Birmingham, Alabama - The Mississippi Valley State Devilettes suffered an 80-33, loss to the Lady Blazers of the University of Alabama Birmingham.
Shooting woes and interior defense plagued the Devilettes the entire match. Mississippi Valley shot 25% from the field, 15% from behind the arc, and 50% from the free throw line.
Christina Reed led the Devilettes with 19 points while Ashley Beals contributed 10-points and two steals.
The Devilettes will hit the court December 14 in Greenwood, Mississippi, facing the Lady Panthers of Philander Smith College.
"I am proud of the team and everything they were able to do today. The contest didn't go our way but we did have some highlight moments. Those moments are the things we will take away from the contest and build on," said Head Coach Elvis Robinson.
