Women's Basketball Remains Perfect with 70-58 Win at Montevallo

The Argonauts will play Spring Hill on Tuesday in their home opener

BOX SCORE

MONTEVALLO, Ala. – Toni Brewer and Courtney Meyer each posted a double-double to lead the UWF women's basketball team to a 70-58 win over Montevallo Saturday.
 
Meyer had 11 points, 12 rebounds and two blocks, while Brewer had her third double-double of the year with 17 points, 23 rebounds and two steals for the Argonauts, who remained perfect at 3-0. Brewer's 23 boards are the most in Division I or II this season and one away from tying the school record.
 
"It was another great effort with four players scoring in double figures," UWF head coach Stephanie Lawrence Yelton said. "Toni  was exceptional on the boards and I was pleased to see our team stick with the second-half adjustments which helped build the final margin."
 
Alex Coyne handed out nine assists, while recording five steals and five points. Leading scorer Imani Mulmore had 16 points on 5-of-10 shooting with five rebounds.
 
UWF controlled the glass, holding a 58-48 rebounding advantage while scoring 23 second-chance points on 20 offensive boards. The Argonauts shot just 36 percent but limited the Falcons to 31 percent and just 3-of-23 from outside.
 
A big turning point in the second half came at the free throw line, where UWF was just 3-of-6 in the first half before using its aggressiveness to the tune of a 13-for-23 performance after the break.
 
Montevallo (1-1) had three players in double figures, led by Rayvon Christian with 20 points. Morgan Smith had 10 points and 16 rebounds.
 
The Argos used an 8-2 run late in the first period to grab a 17-15 lead after the opening 10 minutes. The margin was eight with just under two minutes to play in the half before Montevallo scored the final nine in the half to grab a 29-28 lead at the intermission.
 
UWF came out of the locker room on fire, scoring the first 13 in the period for a 41-29 lead less than two minutes into the frame. The lead got as high as 17 late in the fourth before the final margin gave the visitors from Pensacola their first road win of the season after a pair of neutral-site victories.
 
UWF will return to action on Tuesday evening when it plays host to Spring Hill in the front half of a women's-men's doubleheader. The women will tip-off at 5:30, followed by the men's game 30 minutes after the conclusion of the women's contest. It will be the Argos home opener after three games away from the Sunshine State.
