Women’s Basketball Win Streak Snapped with 62-50 Loss to Philander Smith

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – The long winning streak has come to an end for the Stillman College women's basketball team as the Lady Tigers fell 62-50 in the semifinals of the HBCU Athletic Conference Hope Credit Union Basketball Championships Saturday afternoon in Birthright Alumni Hall. 

The loss snapped a 13-game winning streak for Stillman, who suffered the first loss since a tough one to Wiley University 46-38 back on January 4.
