Haley Soles scored a career high-tying 19 points, but the Covenant women's basketball team could not muster enough scoring around her as the Scots fell to Agnes Scott 72-58 on Saturday.
Morgan Woodward added 13 as the only other Covenant player in double figures as the Scots shot 31.7 percent from the field, and 26.3 percent from 3-point range.
Covenant (0-6) took an early 11-6 lead when Abbey Bailey stole the ball from Natasha Banks of Agnes Scott (2-4) and converted it on the other end with a jumper. But a 6-0 run by the host Scotties gave them the lead. After a free throw by Bailey tied the game, Agnes Scott's Kisha Simpson hit a jumper to put them ahead for good.
Trailing 32-27 at halftime and falling behind 36-27 early in the second half, the Scots clawed their way back into the game with a 13-5 run, highlighted by two 3-pointers by Soles, which were among the five she hit for the game.
After cutting the lead to 43-42, Covenant would miss its next 10 shots and hit only 4-of-21 from the field for the rest of the game as Agnes Scott pulled away and cruised to the victory.
