FLORENCE, Ala. – Despite an 8-0 run over the final minutes of the game, the University of Tennessee at Martin women's basketball team fell in its season opener at North Alabama Monday, 57-54.

The Skyhawks held a 3-point lead at halftime and led by as many as six early in the third quarter. However, a 14-0 run by the Lions in the third gave them a five-point lead heading into the fourth. In the fourth, North Alabama led by as many as nine in the frame, but back-to-back 3-pointers by Kenley McCarn cut the lead to just one with under a minute to play.

With just 14 seconds left Katie Criswell hit a jumper to push the lead back out to three. In the end, Kenley McCarn had a good look at a 3-pointer to tie the game that eventually rimmed out, giving the Lions the 57-54 win.

McCarn led all scorers in the game with 16 points, to go along with a team-high seven rebounds. Brittani Wells had a solid debut for UT Martin with 10 points, six rebounds and a team-high four assists.

The Skyhawks return to action Sunday when they host the eighth-ranked Tennessee Lady Vols at the Pat Summit Heritage Classic at the Elam Center in Martin at 2 p.m.
