UT Women Awaken, Defeat Ohio Valley

TAMPA - Timely defense and a spate of turnovers helped spark a sluggish University of Tampa offense to a 79-54 victory against Ohio Valley University at the Bob Martinez Sports Center.

The Spartan women (2-1) spent the first several minutes of their home opener struggling to score points less than 48 hours after returning from a California road trip.

The pace of the game changed about six minutes in after Spartans guard Angela Guiu drew a charge, which seemed to open the floodgates on both ends for UT.

"I guess you could say that sparked us," said Spartans coach Tom Jessee, who notched his 100th win at UT. "That's one of those things you don't find on a stat sheet and we've been talking about kids stepping up and taking some charges."
