Kendra Cooper 2016

Women's Basketball

Golden, Cooper Lead @BCUWBB Past UNF 52-50

Golden scores 19, Cooper hits the game-winning jumper

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- Angel Golden scored a career-high 19 points, and Kendra Cooper's jumper with six seconds remaining lifted Bethune-Cookman to a 52-50 victory over North Florida Thursday afternoon at the ICI Center.

North Florida tied the game on Simone Brown's jumper with 26 seconds to play. After Cooper hit her basket, Kailyn Williams preserved the victory by blocking Brown's lay-up with two seconds to play.

Golden, a sophomore, connected on five three-pointers to help the Lady Wildcats (3-6) remain unbeaten at their home-away-from home while
Moore Gym is being renovated. Cooper and Williams each scored seven, and Lyndsey Edwards left Bethune-Cookman with seven rebounds.

Brown led the Ospreys (6-6) with a game-high 22.
 
The Wildcats took a 10-9 lead lead on Chasimmie Brown's lay-up at the first quarter buzzer, then built their lead to 27-22 at halftime and as big as 42-32
on Armani Walker's three-point play with 40 seconds remaining in the third quarter.

North Florida rallied to take a 48-47 lead with 3:12 remaining on a Norris three-pointer, but Bethune-Cookman regained the lead when Williams finished a three-point play with 1:37 left.

Bethune-Cookman plays Tennessee State Monday at Stetson at 1 p.m..

COACH VANESSA BLAIR LEWIS

"The young kids tonight stepped up and were our offense."
"Kaitlyn and Kendra came to play in the fourth quarter."

"When Kaitlyn made that block, it released a lot of frustration. "They did not want to lose another game in the fourth quarter."
"Angel was able to really connect against the zone."

ANGEL GOLDEN
"I was just trying to keep my mind focus and help the team."

"They put a man on me on the fourth quarter, but I tried not to let it get to me."
 
KENDRA COOPER
"When it came down, I had to take the shot.  The play had both Angel and me as options."
"It's good to see other people like Angel step up." 

NOTES: B-CU has now won two straight over North Florida and is now 3-0 in the ICI Center...North Florida's 50 points were the lowest for a B-CU opponent since Edward Waters' 45 on opening day....Golden's five three-pointers were the most for a Wildcat this season.
