Women’s Basketball Defeats UVI, 60-44

AUSTIN, Texas — The Stillman College women's basketball team faced the University of the Virgin Islands Buccaneers on the second day of the Tiffany Jackson HBCU Classic, and the Tigers came away with a 60-44 victory Saturday afternoon in Branch Gymnasium. 

Stillman improved to 3-2 with the victory, while UVI fell to 2-3. 

Rapid Recap:

Stillman and UVI played evenly until back-to-back three-pointers from Cmeria Reed and Jaida Minter pushed the Tigers' lead to 11-4 with 2:37 on the clock. The defense held strong against the Bucs and limited them to just two more points in the quarter. A layup by Tyeesha Slaughter with a second remaining gave Stillman an 18-6 advantage after a quarter.

The Tigers pushed out to a 19-point lead when Tenyzia Lathan hit a shot to move the tally to 25-6. UVI's offense went on a 10-point run after a three from Ashlynn Lemos moved the score to 25-16. However, the Bucs only scored one more point in the period, and a layup from Reed capped the quarter at 31-17.

The third quarter belonged to the Bucs after UVI cut the lead all the way to five after free throws from Kashay Bass moved the score to 41-36 with 1:31 on the clock. Stillman briefly pushed the lead to seven points, but a free throw from Atalia Thomas to end the quarter gave the Bucs some life, and they trailed 43-37 after three quarters.

Free throws from Bass at the 7:37 mark moved the score to 46-41 in the fourth quarter, but the Tigers showed resolve and built the lead all the way to 16 points after Tanyah Lockhart hit a layup with 40 seconds left to capture a 60-44 win.
