Cats Fall to No. 23 Ole Miss in Semifinals of Battle4Atlantis

PARADISE ISLAND, Bahamas - Arizona forced 15 turnovers and blocked 10 shots, but the Wildcats fell to No. 23 Ole Miss 56-47 in the Battle4Atlantis semifinals.

Maya Nnaji was Arizona's leading scorer and the only Wildcat in double digits with 12 points. The sophomore had seven rebounds, two blocks and two assists on the day.

Breya Cunningham was a force on the boards, leading Arizona with eight. Six of those eight rebounds were on the offensive end, and the sophomore added five blocks and six points to her stat line.

Arizona held Ole Miss to just 16 points in the first half, the Rebels' lowest point total in a half this season. Prior to its matchup with the Wildcats Ole Miss had scored at least 13 points in every quarter, but the Wildcats held the Rebels to single-digit scoring in each of the first two periods.

The Cats were down by eight heading into the fourth quarter, but a series of stops and a three by Helena Pueyo brought the squad within three points at the final media timeout. Arizona was unable to retake the lead in the final minutes.

The Wildcats will conclude action at the Battle4Atlantis Monday, Nov. 20 at 2:30 p.m. as they take on the winner of South Dakota vs. Michigan.
