The Wright State women's basketball team led 39-38 early in the second half, only to see Detroit follow with an 11-0 run to take control and go on to a 72-56 decision in the Horizon League quarterfinals Wednesday night at Calihan Hall.
Neither team had more than a four-point advantage in the first half until Detroit tallied eight straight points, including two Demeisha Fambro three-pointers, to go up 30-20 at the 3:19 mark. The Raiders, though, scored the final five points of the period on a Breanna Stucke jumper and a Kim Demmings three to only trail 30-25 at the break.
The Titans hit 13 of 25 shots in the opening 20 minutes, including four of nine from behind the arc, while WSU shot just 29 percent. Amazingly, neither team attempted a foul shot in the first half.
Wright State carried its momentum into the second half, going up 35-34 on a Kayla Lamotte basket and was up 39-38 on two Stucke foul shots with 14:42 remaining.
Detroit, however, went in front for good with the decisive 11-0 run and the Raiders would get no closer than six the rest of the way.
The Titans shot 50 percent for the game and were nine of 25 from three-point range while WSU shot 36 percent and was six of 19 from three.
Wright State (12-18) had three players score in double figures, led by Demmings with 16 as she also had seven rebounds and five assists. Stucke added 15 points while Tayler Stanton had 12. KC Elkins had six points, eight boards and five assists.
Detroit (17-12), who will face Green Bay in the Horizon League semifinals on Friday, was led by Brown's 25 points while Fambro had 23 points and eight assists and Shayok posted a double-double of 13 points and 10 rebounds.
