Siloam Spring, AR: On Saturday afternoon at the Bill George Arena, the Southwestern Assemblies of God University (SAGU) Lady Lions women's basketball team played in a Sooner Athletic Conference (SAC) contest against the John Brown University (JBU) Golden Eagles.

Six players scored in double figures, and the Golden Eagles shot a season-best 47 percent from behind the arc (15-of-32), powering the John Brown University women's basketball team to a run-away 87-39 win over the Lady Lions.

Lion Review

• The JBU Golden Eagles took an early lead in scoring thanks to a low-scoring first quarter by the Lady Lions. 

• Taylor Moravick led the Lady Lions in both categories for the game with 11 points and six rebounds. 

• Rylee Lavender was the Lady Lions' second-highest scorer with 7 points and two eye-catching assists. 

• Cailyn Tucker, a freshman guard, played tenacious, bothersome defense and set a new season best with four steals.

Son's Spiel

"Shots didn't fall, but the girls gave it their best against a quality John Brown squad, and for that, I am really proud of them." SAGU head women's basketball coach Micheal Sons said.
