The offensive struggles of the Embry-Riddle women’s basketball team resulted in a six-game losing streak. Snapping that streak would not be easy as they had to face number 13 ranked Arizona Christian on Thursday. The Lady Eagles stayed close with the Lady Firestorm throughout the first three quarters, then made their big move in the fourth quarter, putting up 25 points and paving the way to a 66-58 upset win.
Jordyn Smith tallied 15 points. Hannah Urbano garnered 10 points. Kate McBride recorded 10 points and 8 rebounds. Micaela Hidalgo posted 8 points and 8 rebounds, and Riley Morris-Rexford grabbed 8 rebounds.
In the men’s game, Riddle trailed ACU by five points at halftime, but the Firestorm ran away with it in the second half for an 85-59 victory. Peter Dress garnered 17 points and 9 rebounds for the Eagles. Christian Wells notched 11 points.
