CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The Charlotte Crown (3-6) earned their second consecutive victory with a 78-74 win over the Savannah Steel (4-5) on Sunday at Bojangles Coliseum.
Schaquilla Nunn led Charlotte with 17 points and nine rebounds, helping the Crown control the glass throughout the contest. Michelle Onyiah added 11 points and seven rebounds, while AD Durr scored 10 points and knocked down three three-pointers.
Charlotte outrebounded Savannah 47-36 and connected on a season-high eight three-pointers. The Crown used a 25-point third quarter to build momentum before holding off a late Steel rally in the fourth.
With the game hanging in the balance, Reigan Richardson buried a corner three with 30 seconds remaining off a cross-court pass from Nunn to extend Charlotte’s lead and help secure the victory 78-74.
The win marks Charlotte’s second straight win over Savannah after beginning the season 1-3 against the Steel.
