JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - A tremendous 2025-26 season came to a close for the UWG women's basketball team as the Wolves fell to second-seeded Jacksonville, 86-77, in the quarterfinals of the ASUN Tournament. 

West Georgia (18-13) dug themselves a hole, by shooting 27.8 percent in the opening quarter, and falling behind 25-13 to Jacksonville (22-8). Over the final three quarters, UWG outscored the Dolphins 64-61, but couldn't overcome the hurdle and ended their season with the most wins since 2019-20 and in just their second year of Division I. 

Five Wolves scored in double-figures, led by 20 points from Sydne Tolbert. Asia Donald finished with 18, Jasmine Jones had 15 while Grace O'Gara and Destiny Jones scored 11. 

After JU scored the first seven points, Tolbert put the Wolves on the board with a three-pointer at the 7:53 mark. West Georgia continued to trail as JU shot 52.6 percent from the field including a 4-of-8 mark from three to build a 12-point lead by the quarter's end. 

Jacksonville used an 8-0 run in the second quarter, to stretch their lead up to 18 by the 5:19 mark of the second quarter. UWG then began chipping away, getting seven points from Destiny Jones in the final five minutes, and eventually got the deficit back to 13 by halftime as JU led 41-28. 

It took until the 2:30 mark of the third, but the Wolves clawed back and got the deficit to single-digits on a Grace O'Gara free throw at 53-44. UWG outscored the Dolphins in the third, 20-15, and found themselves down eight, 56-48, with 10 minutes to play. 

The Wolves kept clawing back, but never could get the deficit under eight. Playing the foul game, UWG sent JU to the line 24 times and the Dolphins converted 19 times. 

Donald led the Wolves' rebounding effort with eight while Destiny Jones and Jasmine Jones grabbed seven. 

Despite the slow start, the Wolves ended the game shooting 40 percent from the field. 

Additionally, West Georgia ended the season with the fourth-highest win percentage (58.1 percent) in year two of the Division I transition of all teams to reclassify since 2000.
