MONTGOMERY, Ala. - The UWG women's basketball team ran into one of the hottest teams in the Gulf South Conference on Saturday, falling 70-57 to Auburn Montgomery on the road.

West Georgia (12-10, 8-10 GSC) shot just 38 percent from the field on Saturday while Auburn Montgomery (15-7, 13-5 GSC) won an eighth straight game and moved into third in the GSC standings. 

A competitive first quarter began with Zuriyah Davis scoring five quick points for UWG, leading to a 10-10, five minutes in. Over the next three minutes, AUM used a 7-2 run to take a 17-12 lead before three from Callie Thrower and a floater at the buzzer from Mykah Anderson tied us up at 17 at the end of the quarter.

In the second quarter, West Georgia struggled offensively, only scoring seven points in the period. While the Wolves couldn't find their rhythm on the offensive end, the Warhawks had no issues finding theirs as they scored 21 points on 53 percent shooting with Auburn Montgomery's star guard, Allasha Dudley scoring 10 of those 21 points. 

AUM led 38-25 at the break and shot 40.6 percent from the floor, while holding UWG to 30.3 percent.

Auburn Montgomery scored the first four points of the third quarter in a blink of an eye, resulting in coach Joanna Reitz calling an early timeout. Out of the timeout, AUM scored six of the next eight points, putting UWG in a 48-27 hole with 5:19 left in the quarter. Buckets from Davis and K'Nari Holliday kept the Wolves afloat as West Georgia entered the final period down 56-39.

In the fourth quarter, it was much of the same as UWG fell, 70-57 in Montgomery.

Davis finished with a team-high 17 points while Holliday recorded 14 points and five rebounds off the bench.

West Georgia will be back in action on Wednesday when they travel to Livingston, Alabama for a matchup with West Alabama.
