BIRMINGHAM – Rory Miller scored 25 points to lead the University of North Alabama men’s basketball team to a 79-67 road win over Miles College Monday evening at Fair-Park Arena in Birmingham. The 12-point win evens the Lions’ overall record at 4-4 on the year.

Miller, a 6-7 forward from Jesup, Ga., had a game-high 12 points at the half, but UNA still trailed 35-34. The deficit marked the fifth straight game North Alabama has trailed at the break. The Lions, however, were able to rally by hitting 57.7 percent of their shots over the final 20 minutes.

Miller also led the team with 14 rebounds and was joined by Jared Strode, who added another double-double for UNA. Strode tossed in 18 points and grabbed 10 boards, including seven in the second half.

UNA will return home next Tuesday to face Martin Methodist. Tip-off is set for 7 p.m. at Flowers Hall.
