Texas State head coach Zenarae Antoine was mostly concerned with rebounding after the Bobcats’ 65-55 loss to Georgia Southern on Jan. 26. But rough shooting stretches from the team’s two leading scorers didn’t go unnoticed.
“You can take a look at the fact that Toshua (Leavitt) had a tough time getting herself going, Brooke (Holle), they’ve both had tough times the last two games, back-to-back,” Antoine said. “Sometimes players go through scoring slumps. I feel like that’s something I can work on with them, it’s a little bit easier. But the defensive piece with the offensive rebounds just really hurts you, it just puts a lot, a lot of pressure on you to score.”
The maroon and gold did a better job on the boards on Saturday, taking a 35-33 advantage and giving up just eight offensive rebounds. But Leavitt and Holle’s slumps continued, as Texas State dropped its third consecutive game, falling to UT Arlington on the road Saturday, 68-53.
