Charlotte 49ers Face Off Against Davidson Wildcats in Women's Basketball Showdown at Dale F. Halton Arena
In a recent women's basketball game at the Dale F. Halton Arena, the Charlotte 49ers faced a challenging opponent in the Davidson Wildcats. The home team, with an unblemished record prior to this game, encountered their first setback of the season as they fell to the Wildcats with a final score of 56-83.
The Charlotte 49ers started strong, matching the Wildcats point for point in the first quarter with both teams securing 17 points each. However, momentum shifted as Davidson outscored Charlotte by a significant margin in subsequent quarters. Despite an energetic fourth quarter where the 49ers put up 19 points against Davidson's 20, it was not enough to close the gap created by earlier deficits.
The statistics paint a clear picture of where challenges arose for Charlotte; they shot only 36 percent from field goals and struggled beyond the arc with just a 20 percent success rate on three-point attempts. Conversely, Davidson showcased sharpshooting prowess hitting over half their field goals and converting three-point shots at an impressive rate of approximately 53 percent.
Charlotte did manage to collect more offensive rebounds than their opponents (10 compared to six), but this small advantage was overshadowed by other aspects of play where they were outperformed. The home team also recorded two blocks and matched Davidson’s six steals during gameplay.
Davidson capitalized on turnovers scoring twenty points off these opportunities while maintaining control throughout most of the game which is reflected in their higher assists turnover ratio (approximately one). Their free throw accuracy was notable as well; sinking around eighty-five percent from the line contributed significantly to their final tally.
Looking ahead for fans of The Charlotte 49ers, there is an opportunity for redemption when they host North Texas Mean Green at Dale F. Halton Arena on December thirty-first at four PM Eastern Time. This upcoming match will not be broadcasted but supporters can follow live updates and coverage through local sports networks or online platforms dedicated to collegiate basketball coverage.
