PENSACOLA, Fla. – The University of West Alabama women's basketball team concluded the 2023-24 regular season on Saturday afternoon with a 72-54 defeat at the University of West Florida from the UWF Field House. 

West Florida ends the regular season with a 16-12 overall record and 13-11 in the Gulf South Conference. West Alabama finishes 6-22 and 5-19. 

The Argos got out to a hot start shooting on their Senior Day, scoring the first 10 points and holding the Tigers to no field goals in the first seven-plus minutes. 

Kaedre Denson and Maryanne Logsdon got the Tigers on the board at the charity stripe, while Kamille Clark ended the field goal drought with a jump shot. 

Clark's jumper helped set up for a missed 3-pointer on the other end and a quick bucket by Clark from Logdson's pass made it a 12-7 deficit for UWA with 2:21 left in the period. 

UWF drained a triple late in the quarter to extend its lead to eight, 15-7, at the end of the first period. 

UWA cut the early second quarter deficit to six with back-to-back jumpers by Sydney Schwallie and Augusta Arnold, but a 9-2 run for the home team swelled the lead to 14 with 5:38 left in the half. 

Between the second and third quarters, West Florida outscored West Alabama 42-28, including holding the visitors to nine field goals made in that span.
