The Emory University women's basketball team experienced a mixed week on the road in University Athletic Association play. On Friday night, the Eagles secured a narrow 76-73 victory against Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland. The win was fueled by the dynamic duo of Tatum Olson and Maria Loucopoulos, who combined for 51 points. Olson, a freshman standout, continued her impressive season, while Loucopoulos provided crucial support to fend off a late surge from the Spartans.
However, Emory's momentum was halted on Sunday afternoon in Pittsburgh, where they faced Carnegie Mellon University. Despite Olson's career-high performance, the Eagles fell 69-57 to the Tartans. The loss highlighted the challenges of maintaining consistency in the competitive UAA landscape. Emory looks to regroup as they prepare for their next conference matchups.
