DETROIT TITANS - 2013 WBI CHAMPIONS!!!
A 45-point outburst in the second half was the story as the Detroit Titans made 2013 a championship season by winning the Women's Basketball Invitational (WBI) with a 73-62 victory over the McNeese State Cowgirls on the Dick Vitale Court at Calihan Hall. It's the Titans' first postseason championship since capturing the State-Large College Tournament in 1981.
Sophomore Shareta Brown led all scorers with 28 points & 14 rebounds, which is her third double-double of the tournament. She was named the Tournament MVP after averaging 28 points, 9.2 rebounds, shot 64.7% from the field, and 89.3% from the free throw line. She also had a pair 30-point games as she ended only her second collegiate season with 714 points this year, a new Horizon League record.
Junior Senee Shearer added 16 points & five rebounds and freshman Rosanna Reynolds chipped in with 11 points, four rebounds, and four assists for Detroit (21-13). Senior Yar Shayok added seven points & nine rebounds while seven different Titans made the score sheet.
The Titans were 7-for-12 from 3-point range in the second half and shot 56% (14-of-25) in the final period finishing 45% from the floor overall. Detroit also outrebounded the Cowgirls, 44-27, including 14 offensive rebounds.
The win gives Detroit its 16th win at home this year to improve on the single-season school record and gives the Titans a 27-4 home record since head coach Autumn Rademacher took over the program. It's also Coach Rademacher's 50th career home victory as she now has a 50-23 record at Calihan Hall.
