Norse fall to Chattanooga despite career day from Hubert

HIGHLAND HEIGHTS, Ky. – Northern Kentucky University Norse women's basketball took on Chattanooga on Education Day, as the Norse hosted over two thousand kids from local schools for a Thursday morning clash with the Mocs. NKU started hot as Noelle Hubert drilled three three-pointers inside the first four minutes of the game. Hubert went on to score a career-high 20 points on a career-high seven made shots, but defensive lapses late in the game saw the Norse drop the home contest 75-67.
