Mississippi Gulf Coast got off to a slow start in its final women's basketball game of 2024, leaving the Bulldogs too much ground to make up in an 89-76 loss to Miami Dade.
Gulf Coast trailed 52-26 at halftime before starting to reel the Sharks back in after the break.
Taelar Felton (Fr., Clinton/Clinton) exploded for 32 points to lead the Bulldogs (6-6). Allison Irby (Fr., Olive Branch/Lewisburg) had 12 points, and Lamarah Cleaves added 11.
Miami Dade improves to 10-4.
