Waxahachie, TX: On Saturday afternoon at the Sheaffer Center in Waxahachie, Texas, the Southwestern Assemblies of God University (SAGU) Lady Lions women's basketball team played a Sooner Athletic Conference (SAC) contest against the Central Christian College (CCC) Tigers. 

SAGU trounced the Tigers 100–50 despite their strenuous efforts.

 

Lion Review

• Strong on-ball defense was a recurring theme during the game's opening period. Autumn Moore broke the scoreless tie with a deep three-pointer, but CCC promptly answered with a three of their own.

• With five points and fierce defense, Neeley Tilley-Bedick packed a powerful punch on both sides of the floor.

• Autumn Moore and Taylor Moravcik continued SAGU's dynamic play in the second period. The pair played beautifully, scored, assisted, and rebounded the ball for the Lady Lions.

• When the Lady Lions' bench came into play, they played brilliantly. Jennah Savage and Mary Jo Parker served as the Lady Lions' spark plugs.

• SAGU enjoyed a 31-17 lead against CCC at the break. Autumn Moore and Rylee Lavender were the top scorers at the break, with nine and eight points, respectively.

• The Lady Lions maintained their stifling defense in the second half of the game, only allowing 21 points and forcing 11 turnovers.

• The top scorers for SAGU were Rylee Lavender with 19 and Neeley Tilley-Bedick scoring 17 (four three-pointers).
