Union just couldn’t get over the hump against Freedom.

The Lady Scots trailed by two late in this nonsection matchup and had several 3-pointer attempts roll off the rim.

“We had about five looks at a 3, when we were down by two, and none of them fell,” Union coach Brian Fadden said.

Savannah Partridge had another big night for Union (0-3), leading all scorers with 26. Fadden said the problem wasn’t scoring, it was rebounding.

“We gave up too many layups and second-chance points,” Fadden said. “Really, they had third, fourth, fifth and sixth-chance points. They got a lot of extra rebounds, and it hurt us in the end. We struggled to come up with a lot of loose balls.”

Kristi Tibolet led Freedom with 13 points. Madi Lewis provided 11, and Caitlin Frain contributed 10.
