A 15-0 run that started near the end of the third quarter and lasted to the midway point of the fourth quarter doomed the Truman Bulldogs on Tuesday as they fell to Union (Tenn.) University 67-60 in the opening game of the Drury Thanksgiving Classic.
Truman (2-3) fell behind by 10 early on and had to play catch-up for most of the afternoon.
Maddie Re led Truman in scoring with 15 points and added five steals while Ellie Weltha notched her third straight double-double with 13 points and 11 boards. Hannah Belanger added 14 points and six assists.
Truman returns to the court on Wednesday afternoon against Saginaw Valley (Mich.) State at 1 p.m.
