BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – The Stillman women's basketball team made a quick trip to Birmingham on Wednesday evening, taking on UAB in an exhibition matchup. Wednesday marked the first ever meeting between the two teams, with the undefeated Blazers picking up the win on their home floor.
Â
The Tigers entered Wednesday's contest with just one game under their belts, an October 27 road matchup against Mobile where three Stillman players –
Jasmine Ervin,
Victoria Pyles and
Netala Dixon – each scored in double figures. Pyles again reached double figures against UAB, where she led the team with 11 points.
Â
In total, 12 players saw court time for Stillman, with 10 of them finding the bottom of the net. Â
Jayla West-Young collected a team-best six rebounds on Wednesday, while Ervin and Dixon each added five of their own.
Â
As a team, Stillman hauled in 39 rebounds for the night, including 24 on the defensive side of the glass. The Tigers forced UAB into 18 turnovers, the most in a game by the Blazers so far this season.
Â
Stillman is set to return to action on Saturday, when they head to Tennessee to take on another unbeaten team in Freed-Hardeman, who is ranked third nationally. Tipoff is slated for 1:00 p.m. from Brewer Sports Center in Hendersonville.
