Box Score The Spring Hill College (SHC) women's basketball team won a convincing 90-67 Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SIAC) verdict over the Fort Valley State University (FVSU) Lady Wildcats at the Arthur R. Outlaw Recreation Center on Thursday evening.

The Wildcats (3-11, 2-4 SIAC East) fell down 22-9 to Spring Hill after one quarter of play and the Badgers held a 37-23 advantage at half time. In the second half, Spring Hill began to pour it on and doubled up the Wildcats at 56-28 with 4:48 left in 3rd period. FVSU would get no closer than 21 points in the final 10 minutes of play.

"This was a solid team win for us tonight," said SHC head coach Karen McConico after the game. "We shot over 50% for the first time this season and that's important. We still struggled with turnovers, but overall this was a good win for us to build on."

The Badgers knocked down a healthy 64.2% (34-53) from the field and 60% (9-15) from 3-point range led by senior guard Natalie Harper's 11 points on a 4-for-7 shooting performance. Junior forwards Alishia DraytonLewis and Camry Johnson each connected for 10 points as did sophomore guard Raneisha Andrews who came off the bench for a 4-of-5 night. Junior center Leah Washington had a monster night on defense with 10 rebounds and five blocked shots with three steals.

Spring Hill dominated the paint with a 42-26 advantage in rebounding a 38-22 margin in scoring on the inside. The Badgers lost the ball 26 times versus 12 steals by FVSU and benefited from just 16 Wildcat fumbles against seven SHC steals, giving the visitors from Georgia a 27-22 edge in points scored off turnovers.

Daknequa White put a game-high 21 points in the hoops for FVSU and Jayme Gilbert added 17 points with Iyuna Dugger pitching in 11 points. The Wildcats were 36.5% (23-63) from the floor and 40% (6-15) from behind the 3-point line.
