Women's Basketball Drops GSC Opener to Montevallo

LLIVINGSTON, Ala. - The University of West Alabama women's basketball team dropped a Gulf South Conference (GSC) game to the University of Montevallo 70-56, Monday evening inside Pruitt Hall.

Trailing by nine early in the ball game, the Tigers cut the deficit down to a field goal, 14-12, after a Kamille Clark jump shot with three minutes remaining in the period.

Late in the quarter, Kendall Lacoste picked up a quick steal and two points on the other end to make it a 16-14 score in favor of Montevallo, but a quarter-ending triple by Cali Smallwood made it a 19-14 lead after 10 minutes.

The second quarter saw the Falcons increase the lead to seven after back-to-back field goals, but the Tigers made it interesting midway through. That seven-point deficit was erased quickly by an 8-0 run. With under six minutes left in the half, Sydney Schwallie's triple gave the Tigers the 25-24 lead.

UM made it a 30-27 advantage on a three-pointer, but back-to-back field goals by Clark and Lacoste gave the home team the lead briefly, 32-30, before Marisa Snodgrass tied it up on the last possession of the half.
