ARLINGTON, Texas - UT Arlington women's basketball lost its sixth straight Sun Belt Conference game of the season Wednesday night, falling 86-62 to Troy at College Park Center.
"We just stopped scoring even though we were getting great looks," UT Arlington coach Krista Gerlich said. "We missed a lot of layup. We had good energy and we missed some easy shots and that got to us."

The Mavericks (1-16, 0-6 SBC) got out to an early 7-0 lead, but the Trojans rallied to take a 16-15 lead after Joanna Harden knocked down a 3-pointer.
