Lady Buffs get big AAC win at home

Milligan College, Tenn. (Feb. 6, 2010) --- The Milligan College women’s basketball team had a decisive victory over AAC foe Bryan (Tenn.) College Saturday afternoon in Steve Lacy Fieldhouse by the final 74-52. 

The Milligan women got off to a hot start in the afternoon contest as they opened with a commanding 15-2 lead over the visiting Lady Lions. Bryan responded mid-way through the half cutting their deficient to as little as eight, but at the break, the Lady Buffs took a 39-26 lead into the locker room.

The difference for the Lady Buffs in the opening half was their tenacious defense and an impressive shooting performance. Milligan forced 12 Bryan turnovers and held the Lady Lions to 8-of-20 shooting from the floor in the first half. Moreover, the Lady Buffs were 14-of-24 (.583 percent) from the field and 5-of-8 (.625 percent) from beyond the arc.

For the Lady Buffs, the second half seemed to mirror the first as the Milligan women extended their lead courtesy of a 12-2 run in the opening minutes. The home team did not let up as they used their full court pressure to force nine additional turnovers and hold Bryan to their third lowest point total of the season.
