Chelsie Featured on UCFAthletics.com

Chelsie Wiley had always been taught that shooters have short memories and live in the moment. So when the in-game announcement came last week that UCF's standout shooting guard scored her 1,000th point, she never once thought about soaking in the magnitude of the moment.

She helped her teammates get a defensive stop and then 34 seconds later boosted her career total to 1,002 career points with a nifty one-handed runner in the lane. It's a singular focus that helped the junior guard overcome an early-season slump and evolve into UCF's leading scorer down the stretch of this season.

Knights Down Houston as Wiley scores 1,000th career point

Two nights after one of its worst shooting nights of the season, UCF's women's basketball team came back Saturday night locked and loaded and delivered one of its finest shooting performances.

And UCF coach Joi Williams is convinced that the difference was more because of a mindset change than simply the ball falling one night and not on another night.

UCF scored its third-most points of the season by getting four players in double digits and holding a staggering 55-28 rebounding advantage in a 78-66 whipping of Houston that was one of the Knights' finest wins of the season.

Junior guard Chelsie Wiley had a team-high 21 points and scored her 1,000th career point with 56 seconds left in the first half. She made six of 13 shots, hit all eight of her free throws and grabbed six rebounds. She said she had no clue that she was close to moving into the 1,000-point club, but her focus was intently on helping UCF win in its final home game of the regular season.

Wiley Closing in on 1,000 as Knights Host Rice

After splitting a pair of road games last weekend, UCF returns to the UCF Arena Thursday night, hosting Rice at 7 p.m. for the first of two final home games in 2009-10. The Knights have won three of their last four overall and three of their last four on their home floor.

Junior Chelsie Wiley (Riviera Beach, Fla.) stands just 18 points shy of becoming the program's 13th member of the 1,000-point club. Teammate Emma Cannon (Rochester, N.Y.) topped the milestone earlier this season.

Last weekend, UCF battled out an 80-73 win at UAB on Friday night before losing a close 76-72 game to league-leading Memphis on Sunday. The Knights benefitted from a pair of career-high point totals to produce strong offensive performances. In Friday's win over the Blazers, junior Marshay White (Rochester, N.Y.) scored a career-high 26 points and UCF knocked down eight three-pointers. Sunday it was junior D'Nay Daniels (Atlanta, Ga.) with the strong outing, tallying 25 points on 9-of-14 shooting.

Knights Win Second-Straight

If one win is a step, then two could very well be a full-out trot for the UCF women's basketball team. Now, the Knights are hoping they can put together a strong run similar to last season's stirring finish.

Their early-season struggles now a distant memory, UCF put together its third consecutive stellar effort and won for a second time in a row, this time beating Conference USA power East Carolina 60-50 at UCF Arena.

Remarkably, UCF (6-12, 3-6) has not trailed in the 80 minutes of the past two victories against Marshall and ECU (17-6, 6-4). UCF led or was tied all throughout Saturday's game and delivered a key 15-4 spurt after East Carolina had gotten the score tied at 42-all.
