WEEKLY REWIND...
Women's Basketball
The women's basketball suffered a pair of heartbreaking overtime losses on the road last weekend. The Tritons were edged at Truman State, 78-73, last Thursday and fell short of knocking off No. 18 Quincy, 81-77, last Saturday. Senior Kelly Kukel averaged 17.5 points, 4.5 rebounds and 3.0 assists per game, while redshirt sophomore Jordan Fletcher added 14.5 points and 9.0 rebounds per game. Fletcher scored 21 points at Truman State, in which UMSL rallied back from a 10-point fourth quarter deficit. Kunkel tallied 17 points, including four three-pointers, at Quincy. The Tritons scored six straight in a span of 53 seconds to go ahead at 68-66 with seven seconds to play in regulation before the hosts netted a pair of free throws with four tenths of a second to send the game to overtime.
