Women’s Basketball Outlasts SUNO for HBCUAC Victory

NEW ORLEANS – The Talladega College women's basketball team watched an early lead evaporate just to weather the storm on the way to a 66-53 win over the Southern University in New Orleans Lady Knights Friday afternoon in Historically Black College and Universities Athletic Conference action.
 
After a dominant opening quarter, the Tornadoes saw a 22-6 lead slim to a 36-28 advantage at the half. In the third quarter, SUNO battled all the way back to pull head briefly 45-44, but Kiersten Usher splashed a jumper to put Dega ahead 46-45 before heading to the fourth.
 
Early in the fourth, the Lady Knights took a 47-46 lead thanks to a jumper by Tierra Sylvas. However, Beautiful Curry responded with a jumper of her own for the final lead change of the night and put Talladega up 48-47. The Tornadoes went on to outscore SUNO 20-8 in the final stanza on the way to the 66-53 win.
 
Kameron Jones posted a double-double to lead the Tornadoes with 16 points and 11 rebounds. Kiersten Usher posted 14 points, seven steals, five rebounds and three assists, while Courtney Lowe posted 13 points.
 
As a team, Talladega shot 47.3 percent (26-of-55) from the floor, 25 percent (2-of-8) beyond the arc, and 75 percent (12-of-16) from the free throw line.
 
Zaire McNeal scored 16 points and McKenna Harris added 12 points to pace SUNO.
 
The Lady Knights finished 30.9 percent (17-of-55) overall, 30 percent (6-of-20) from three, and 61.9 percent (13-of-21) at the line.
 
Talladega College returns to action tomorrow in New Orleans at Dillard University starting at 5 p.m.
