MEMPHIS, Tenn. - The University of West Florida put on a dominant performance Saturday afternoon, rolling past Christian Brothers 80-59 at Canale Arena. The Argonauts improved to 17-9 on the season and 13-7 in Gulf South Conference play.

West Florida set the tone early, jumping out to an 18-16 lead after the first quarter. They continued to build momentum in the second, outscoring the Lady Buccaneers 20-13 to take a 38-29 advantage into halftime. Christian Brothers struggled to find an answer for the Argonauts' depth, as West Florida's bench provided a massive spark with 54 total points.

Rylie Stephens led the way for the Argonauts, catching fire from beyond the arc and finishing with a game-high 21 points on 5-of-7 three-point shooting. Delaney Trushel added 16 points and five rebounds, while Liv Becker contributed 13 points and seven boards. Haidyn Pitsch had a standout performance, recording a double-double with 12 points and 12 rebounds, along with four assists.
