Hatters Bounce Back With 68-55 Win Over UNF

Brittney Chambers Shines Again

DeLand, Fla. -- Brittney Chambers scored 23 points and grabbed a career-high 13 rebounds as Stetson defeated North Florida 68-55 Saturday afternoon at the Edmunds Center.

The Hatters (13-9) won their seventh in a row at home and improved to 4-2 in ASUN play.

"I think we played a lot better than we did (Monday)," Stetson head coach Lynn Bria said. "I thought our energy was good. I thought Michelle Pruitt did a great of job of getting the ball inside and scoring."

Chambers continued her recent hot streak, going 7-for-15 from the floor and 2-for-3 from behind the arc to eclipse the 20-point mark for the seventh time this season. She now has five double-doubles on the year, including three in her last four games.

"I thought Brittney did a good job of (scoring) in transition," Bria said. "She is very difficult to guard because she can split the defense, even if you have two back there. She can stop and pop at any time. She can score so many different ways. She is just playing so aggressive right now."

The Hatters also benefited from strong post play Saturday as Pruitt scored 13 points and Jordan Tully added nine. Overall, Stetson held a 34-14 advantage in points in the paint.

"I felt like Jordan Tully came off the bench and gave us solid minutes," Bria said. "She rebounded the ball, she was very smart in what she did and she had some key baskets, too."

Shania Meertens also contributed eight points and seven rebounds.

The game was delayed for 15 minutes in the fourth quarter due to a power outage at the Edmunds Center. After play resumed, Stetson quickly pushed its 11-point lead up to 16 to break the game open.

"We kept talking and keeping each other up," Pruitt said about the delay. "We couldn't be content with what was going on and we had to focus on the next plays."

The Hatters shot 44 percent from the floor and 83 percent from the free throw line.

Keonna Farmer scored 19 points to lead UNF (9-12, 2-4).

The Hatters will visit Jacksonville at 7 p.m. Thursday.
