MARTIN, Tenn. – An undermanned Jacksonville State women's basketball team ran into hot-shooting UT Martin squad in a 91-60 loss to the Skyhawks in Ohio Valley Conference women's basketball action in Martin, Tenn.
The 31-point setback was the largest Jax State deficit in the 26 game history between the two squads. UTM, which moved to 15-9 overall and 10-3 in the OVC, topped the Gamecocks by 24 points in a match up during the 1986-87 campaign when both squads were competitors in the Gulf South Conference. With the loss, JSU falls to 9-16 on the season and 6-8 in league play.
Jax State, playing without its leading scorer, Brittany Wiley, due to a medical issue, gave up a season-high 11 three-pointers to the Skyhawks as the outside shot aided them in the win. UTM's Jasmine Newsome was a thorn in the Gamecocks' side for the second-straight game as Newsome poured in 20 points, 15 from behind the arc. Heather Butler turned in a game-high 24 points. The Skyhawks finished the game shooting 46 percent from the field and scored 27 points off JSU turnovers. UTM edged JSU on the boards 39-36 and tallied 24 point on second chance opportunities.
UTM expanded a one-point, 26-25, to a 14-point 42-28 margin after putting together a 17-6 run over the last four minutes of the opening half to take a 42-31 lead into the halftime break. The 15 minute break didn't slow down the Navy Blue and Orange as it pushed the lead out to 59-33 at the 15:28 mark of the second half. UTM held its largest lead of the contest at 80-46 with 5:26 left in the game.
Sophomore Danielle Vaughn did her part to take up the slack due to JSU missing Wiley. Vaughn finished with her sixth double-double of the season and third in the last four contests. Vaughn tallied 20 points and pulled down 13 rebounds in her 36 minutes of action. The Huntsville, Ala.-native knocked down 9-of-11 from the field and dished out a pair of assists and credited with a block on the defensive end. Junior Destiny Lane scored 16 points and carded six boards. Danielle Beneby pitched in nine points.
