FLORENCE – Lacy Lewis had 19 points to lead five North Alabama players in double figures as the Lions picked up a 77-59 home victory over Georgia Southwestern Saturday afternoon at Flowers Hall. UNA (4-6) trailed 37-34 at the half, but shot 50 percent from the floor over the final 20 minutes to rally for the win.

Lewis, a sophomore from Fyffe, Ala., reaches the 19-point total for the second time on the year to match a career high. She also turned in a game-high 15 rebounds to complete her first career double-double. She was the lone bright spot on the boards for UNA as the Hurricanes held a 54-48 edge in rebounding.

After trailing by three at the break, North Alabama also turned up the defensive pressure in the second stanza. The Lions limited GSW to only seven field goals in second half. The Hurricanes were only 2-of-18 from three-point range and failed to connect from long range after half-time.

Sanqueeta Meardith added 14 points for UNA while Kierra McCleary scored 12 points for the game. Jameica York and Niala Harris also tossed in 11 points each.

Georgia Southwestern (3-4) was led by Brittany Reynolds’ game-high 24 points.
