ROCHESTER, Mich. - Sharise Calhoun went over 1,000 points for her career and Bethany Watterworth scored 19, but the Oakland women's basketball team (10-13, 6-8) lost, 52-45, to IPFW (8-17, 5-9) on Saturday at the Athletics Center O'rena. Elizabeth Hamlet and Malika Glover added five points each for the Golden Grizzlies, which shot 30.2 percent as a team.
"Oakland isn't used to losing so it's tough for us to be facing the kind of adversity that we are," said Oakland head coach Beckie Francis. "We're going to let it reveal our character and it will only make us stronger. We're going to keep working hard to get better."
Calhoun became just the 25th player in Oakland history to break the 1,000-point barrier. She finished the game with 12 points, joining Watterworth as the only OU players in double-digits. Glover scored all of her points in the second half and accounted for all of OU's bench scoring.
"I think that Sharise going over 1,000 points speaks to her maturity," said Francis. "It's very hard to do as a player at the division I level. It shows what a mature player she was, even when she came in as a freshman."
Oakland battled back from a halftime deficit, puling within 37-34 on a pair of free throws by Calhoun. After a missed shot to cut the lead to one, IPFW went on a 7-0 spurt and Oakland was unable to close the gap. Stephanie Rosado had 20 points to lead IPFW, which shot 40 percent from the field and never trailed.
The Golden Grizzlies rattled off a 12-2 run to cut a 13-point deficit to 23-20. However, IPFW scored the final four points of the half, as a coast-to-coast layup by Sarah Haluska just before the buzzer put the Mastodons ahead 27-20 at the break.
Center Brittany Carnago missed her third consecutive game due to illness, but is expected to rejoin the team soon.
The two teams split the season series, as each team won on the opposition's home court. The Golden Grizzlies have now lost four straight, while IPFW snaps a string of six consecutive losses.
Oakland will return to action on Saturday to face Southern Utah at the Athletics Center O'rena at 3:30 p.m.
