Waxahachie, TX: On Monday evening 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 John Brown University (JBU) Golden Eagles. 

 

The Lady Lions were defeated by the Golden Eagles 74-65.

 

Lion Review

• Taylor Moravcik began the game dominantly, splashing a three-point attempt, snatching rebounds in traffic, and spinning in the lane for layups. Cailyn Tucker also started the contest strongly, swishing her first three-point attempt.

• Autumn Moore and Rylee Lavender's jump shots were pure in the game's first period for the Lady Lions. After an intense period, the Golden Eagles held a one-point lead, 18-17.

• Neeley Tilley-Bedick caught fire in the second period scoring eleven straight points; the lefty guard was too shifty for the Golden Eagle defenders to contain. 

• At the halftime intermission, the SAGU Lady Lions had a 38-32 advantage over John Brown, the Lady Lion's leading scorers were Rylee Lavender and Neeley Tilley-Bedick, who both scored eleven points. 

• At halftime, Autumn Moore recorded six assists.

• In the third quarter, the Golden Eagles shot the ball efficiently. SAGU struggled from behind the arc, shooting only 26 percent, unable to match the Golden Eagles' domination from a distance. The Golden Eagles eventually defeated SAGU mainly to a John Brown triple bombardment.

• Autumn Moore led SAGU in scoring with 15 points and added seven rebounds and eight assists, flirting with a triple-double. 

• Rylee Lavender added 14 points, and Neeley Tilley-Bedick and Taylor Moravcik scored 13.
