On a weekend FULL of Basketball πŸ€, we end it with Alyssa Ervin and Furman University vs Campbell on ESPN+…

6:36 of the first quarter is when our former Lady πŸ‘© Cavalier entered the contest. Love the fact that the announcers immediately state, ” Watch out for Ervin, she makes things happen when she enters the game.”

End of 1st Quarter, Paladins leading the Camels 🐫, 21 -15.

Ervin goes 2/4, including 1/2 from deep!

Five points + 1 rebound in 6+ minutes !!

________________________________

Second Quarter :

Started out strong as Alyssa delivered a nifty pass for a basket 🧺 and followed it up with a fast break lay-up at 8:06 remaining to put Furman up 25-17.

One minute later, Coach Curtis subbed Ervin out and the Fighting Camels 🐫 proceeded to go on an 18-1 run πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈ. FU ended the half on a 5-3 spurt but trail at the break 38-31. Campbell is playing aggressive defense and its playing havoc with the Paladins offense.

__________________________________

Bizarre 3rd quarter to say the least. Furman missed seven of eight free throws and fell behind 59-38. Then FU closed the quarter with a 10-0 run πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈ to cut βœ‚οΈ the deficit to just 11.

Ervin with. 8 points, 2 Assusts and 2 Boards after 3rd.

Final Score – Campbell 68, Furman 61

Bright Spots – Down 21, Furman closed out the game on a 23 – 9 run !

Bright Spot # 2 – Alyssa played the entire fourth quarter, first time this season that she played the full 10:00.

Stats will show – 11 points, 3 rebounds, 2 Assists, 1 steal and 29 / 40 minutes played. Very productive night πŸŒ™.

Free throws will be practiced tomorrow under the watchful eyes πŸ‘€ of Coach Curtis as the Paladins struggled from the Charity Stripe throughout the contest.

13 of 29 for 45% as a team.

The team now sits at 2-3 after five games and its time for the team to play at Radford University on Wednesday night!

High in number of minutes played, fourth game in double figures. Averaging 12.0 ppg and looking more and more comfortable wearing Purple !!
