Last meeting
DENTON (Dec. 15, 2019) - The North Texas women's basketball team struggled to find consistent scoring on Friday night and fell to UT Arlington, 68-49.
The Mean Green (1-2, 0-0 C-USA) had five players score eight points each but zero hit double figures on a night when UT Arlington (2-0, 0-0 Sun Belt) had three players reach double-digits and another with nine points. UNT was outrebounded for the first time this season, by a 49-43 margin, and shot just 15-of-27 from the foul line.

George added a team-high nine rebounds, while Shepherd and Trena Mims each pulled down seven boards. George and McDowell entered the game averaging 18.5 and 14 points, respectively, but both got in foul trouble, and McDowell fouled out in the fourth quarter.
A Noble Start
Quincy Noble has already made a name for herself three games into her career with the Mean Green. The redshirt sophomore put up a career-high 30 points against Louisiana and knocked down five 3-pointers, the fifth-highest total ever recorded by a North Texas player. Noble made the most of her North Texas debut with a team-high 17 points in an 87-71 Mean Green season opening win over Tarleton Nov. 25, and against Texas Nov. 29, Noble had a team-high 12 points, including a pair of big 3-pointers, that kept the Mean Green in contention early.
Deep Improvement
