LIVINGSTON, Ala. – The University of West Alabama women's basketball team claimed its third straight Gulf South Conference win with a 69-64 victory over West Florida on Wednesday evening at Pruitt Hall. The win improves UWA to 6-16 on the season and 3-3 in conference play.

Following a Sabrina Stambouli three-point attempt to tie the game, Powell toed the free throw line and knocked down two shots from the stripe to ice the victory for the Red and White.
