JACKSONVILLE, FLA. – The College of Charleston women's basketball team (3-6) rebounded from a slow start with an excellent second quarter on Friday night, which was enough for CofC to stave off a late UNF comeback to defeat the Ospreys (5-6) 73-69.
 
• The Cougars ripper off a 12-0 run in the second quarter, which featured three-pointers from Cailin Dorsey and Deja Ford. All told, CofC erased a 10-point first quarter deficit and outscored the Ospreys 26-8 in the second to go up 37-29 heading into the locker room at half.
 
• Tanisha Brown recorded the 14^th double-double of her collegiate career, scoring 14 points and pulling down 11 rebounds.
 
• Three other Cougars reached double-digits along with Brown. Darien Huff sunk 15 points on the strength of three three-pointers, while Shiclasia Brown had a well-rounded night with 12 points, four rebounds and six assists. Deja Ford came one point shy of a career-high, scoring 14 on a team-high 15 FG attempts.
