UNA WOMEN IMPROVE TO 12-3 AFTER 84-72 WIN AT LIPSCOMB

NASHVILLE, Tenn., – Ivy Wallen led four University of North Alabama women's basketball players in double figures as the Lions recorded an 84-72 win at Lipscomb Saturday in ASUN Conference play. The victory gives UNA a 12-3 overall record and 3-0 mark in league games.
 
Wallen scored 28 points, including 19 in the second half as UNA built a 20-point lead before holding off a late charge by the Bisons.
 
The Lions took a 16-point lead into the half and extended it midway through the third quarter. Wallen scored five straight points, including a jumper to make the score 52-32 with 5:30 remaining.
 
Lipscomb, however, closed the gap to 10 by the end of the period and continued the rally into the fourth quarter. UNA missed its first three shots of the quarter while the Bisons hit three straight. A jumper by Lipscomb's Casey Collier made the score 57-53 with 8:43 remaining.
 
North Alabama responded with a 7-0 run of its own to push the lead back to double digits. The home team would get no closer than six the rest of the way.
 
Nursing a 68-62 lead, Olivia Noah started another 9-1 run for the Lions with a three-point basket from the left wing. Wallen later capped the run with two free throws to make the score 77-63 at the 2:23 mark. Lipscomb would not threaten again.
 
Noah finished with 18 points on 6-of-10 shooting. She had four treys on the day. Brittany Panetti was also 6-of-10 from the floor and had 15 points. Kenysha Coulson rounded out the top scorers for the Lions with 11 points.
 
Jalyn Holcomb led Lipscomb (4-12 overall, 1-2 ASUN) with 22 points.
 
The two teams traded runs in the first half. A three-pointer by Noah at the end of the first quarter gave the Lions an 18-16 lead.
 
Lipscomb briefly took a 22-21 lead on a three-pointer at the 6:33 mark. The Bisons, however, would not score the rest of the half as UNA closed the second quarter on a 17-0 run. A basket by Ansley Eubanks in the final minute gave the Lions a 38-22 lead at the break.
 
UNA will play at Liberty on Monday. Tip-off is set for 6 p.m. at the Vines Center on the LU campus in Lynchburg, Va.
