HUNTSVILLE – The University of North Alabama women’s basketball team got back on track in the Gulf South Conference in a big way Saturday evening in a big way by routing in-state rival Alabama-Huntsville 91-68 on the Lady Chargers’ home floor. Led by freshman Dana Jackson’s career-high 25 points, the Lions improved to 10-10 overall with a 3-2 record in GSC play. With the loss, UAH fell to 5-15, 1-4.

 

As a team, the Lions hit 11 three-point baskets in the first half to build a 45-26 lead. UNA finished with 15 three-pointers, two shy of a school record set earlier this year. In the second half, UAH was never able to get the lead under double digits while the Lions led by as many as 26 points.

 

Jackson, a freshman from Winchester, Tenn., went 3-for-7 from three-point range. Amber Rutherford added 16 points for the Lions while Ashley Moore and Jameica York tossed in 12 points each.

 

The Loins will be off for one week before traveling to Carrollton, Ga., next Saturday for another GSC road match-up against West Georgia.
