One thing was obvious during the Missouri S&T women’s basketball team’s dress rehearsal Saturday afternoon: The Lady Miners can shoot.
The new-look Lady Miners used a big second half to rally past the Livin’ the Dream exhibition team 95-80 Saturday at the Gale Bullman Multi-Purpose Building.
It was the lone S&T exhibition before officially opening the season next Friday and Saturday, Nov. 20-21, in the Lady Miner Tip-Off Classic at the Gale Bullman Multi-Purpose Building. On Friday S&T will play Upper Iowa at 7 p.m. and on Saturday, Nov. 21 the Lady Miners host Wayne State at 3 p.m.
Working several new players into the rotation, Alan Eads watched as his squad fell behind by as much as 12 points in the first half Saturday afternoon. S&T then began to whittle away until finally taking the lead midway through the second half.
Livin’ the Dream, based in the Kansas City area, got a three-point field goal from 6-1 forward Andrea Haegele at the 13:54 mark of the first half to take a 13-10 lead. S&T would trail the rest of the half.
