TUSKEGEE, A.L. --- The Allen University women's basketball team was defeated in an SIAC road contest Saturday, falling 55-49 at Tuskegee.
After holding a small lead for the majority of the first half, Allen saw Tuskegee close out the second quarter on a 5-0 run to take a 30-28 advantage into the break. It would be a lead that the Golden Tigers never gave up, as both teams scored 12 points in the third quarter, and Tuskegee outscored Allen, 13-9, in the fourth.
The Yellow Jackets had a pair of performers finish in double figures as
Taliah Wesley totaled 16 points and
Mya Johnson added 10 points in Saturday's effort. Allen also saw freshman
Morgan Smith score eight points off-the-bench.
JuJu Harrington was Allen's leading rebounder with seven to pair with five points.
Allen has the remainder of the month off, and will return to action on Thursday, January 2 at 5:30 p.m. The Yellow Jackets will host Kentucky State University inside John Hurst Adams Gymnasium.
