COLUMBIA, SC --- By only trailing for four total minutes, Allen women's basketball saw eight different players score as the Yellow Jackets defeated Edward Waters, 77-59.
Monday's 18-point win marked Allen's largest margin of victory in SIAC play this season, and tied for the second-most point scored in a single game this season for the Yellow Jackets (95).
Allen managed to build onto their lead in the second and third quarters, outscoring the Tigers 45-33 in that span. A key role in the win was the Yellow Jackets' success at the free-throw line shooting 22-29 (75.9%) at the stripe.
Five Yellow Jackets finished in double-figures with
Mya Johnson leading the way with 15 points.
Taliah Wesley added 14 points, meanwhile
JuJu Harrington tallied 11 points and
Talayah Boxley finished with 10 points and six rebounds. Also, for the second time in her freshman career, center
Zion Duncan recorded a double-double with 10 points and 12 rebounds in the win.
A quick turnaround of four days will see these same two teams meet once again, but this time in Jacksonville, FL when Allen travels to Edward Waters Saturday, Feb. 3 at 2:00 p.m.
