Mercer Hands Belmont First A-Sun Loss of the Season
Date Posted: 2/8/2007 MACON, Ga. – In a game reminiscent of a boxing match, the Mercer women’s basketball team pulled off the upset against undefeated Atlantic Sun leader Belmont, snapping an 11 game conference win streak. The Bears rallied from a 12-point deficit in the second half for a 69-65 win over the Bruins. Belmont (17-5, 11-1 A-Sun) held a 59-47 lead with 6:56 left to play and it seemed that the Bruins had put the Bears away en route to another victory. However, Mercer (3-19, 2-9 A-Sun) held Belmont scoreless for the next 3:42 while Chelsea Seabron scored six points in the Bears’ 11-0 run that cut the deficit to one, 59-58. A pair of free throws from Brooke Sunday and a jumper from Tereva Moore gave Belmont a five-point lead, but Mercer battled back. Megan delaRosa tied the game on a 3-pointer with 1:01 remaining, but a Belmont turnover set delaRosa up to hit the go-ahead shot with 28.2 ticks remaining. Belmont committed two costly turnovers on its next two possessions, failing to get a shot off in the final 83 seconds of the game. Rhonda Owens sealed the deal for Mercer, sinking a pair of free throws with 2.3 seconds remaining. The Bruins were without the services of starters Alysha Clark and Shaunda Strayhorn.
