The Lady Hoyas added to their losing streak in the Big East, bringing the number to five. Georgetown (11-11, 1-8BE) lost to the University of South Florida (16-5, 6-2BE) 79-51 Tuesday night after falling into yet another scoring slump.
“We play teams pretty even in the second half, but they go on a five to six minute run in the first half and that ends up usually being the difference in the game,” said junior guard Kristin Heidloff said of the team’s scoring dilemma.
Both teams came out strong in the second half. Freshman guard Meredith Cox stepped up for the Hoyas, hitting two threes in a row. For the remainder of the half, both teams competed fairly evenly, but the Hoyas were unable to find an opportunity to get out of the first-half hole. The Bulls finished ahead of Georgetown 79-51.
The Hoyas will continue their Big East competition this Saturday when they return to McDonough Arena to host Villanova (7-13, 1-6BE).
