Women’s Basketball Earns 84-65 Win over Mobile

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – Nothing is given and everything is earned. The Stillman College women's basketball team experienced all of the mantra with a gritty, 84-65 win over the University of Mobile Rams Thursday night in Birthright Alumni Hall.

The win moves Stillman to 18-4 on the season and currently on a six-game winning streak. Meanwhile, Mobile falls to 17-4 and as the loss snapped a 12-game winning streak for the Rams. 

The Lady Tigers put together a dominant first half. Stillman opened the game on a 10-0 run and the first bucket for the Rams did not come until 2:02 on the clock. The Lady Tigers left the period ahead 17-2. 

The defense continued to dominate in the second quarter as Stillman outscored Mobile 23-6 in the period after Raena Suggs buried a three to give the Lady Tigers a 32-point, 40-8 lead at the half. 

Mobile responded with a slight rally in the third quarter as the offense started to click for the Rams and the team outscored the Lady Tigers 25-21 during the stretch to cut the lead to 28 points as the scoreboard read 61-33. 

Then in the fourth, the Rams turned up the defensive intensity and opened the period on an 18-0 run to cut the lead to 61-51 before Farrah Pearson hit a layup to end the run with 7:04 to go in the period. The lead dwindled to just seven points after Alanna Donaldson hit a free throw to move the score to 65-58 with 5:46 to go. 

However, the Lady Tigers showed poise down the stretch and reopened a double-digit lead throughout the rest of the quarter and pushed to a 19-point, 84-65 win in front of a rabid Tiger fan base. 

Raena Suggs was on fire for Stillman and finished the night with 23 points, seven assists, and three steals. Jaida Minter turned in 18 points, five assists and a pair of steals. Pearson posted a double-double with 15 points and 11 rebounds. Jamariah Turner added 11 points and Leila Henderson scored 10. 

As a unit, the Lady Tigers shot 57.1 percent (32-of-56) from the floor, 44.4 percent (8-of-18) from three, and 70.6 percent (12-of-17) from the line. 

Donaldson led Mobile with 23 points, while MacKenzie White chimed in with 19 points and Miriam Oldacre added 13 points. 

Stillman College returns to action Saturday afternoon with a trip to Denmark, South Carolina to face Voorhees University at noon in HBCU Athletics Conference action.
