Box Score

VIENNA, W.Va. - Tiffany Scott (Ottawa Lake, MI) led a balanced attack for the University of Charleston women's basketball team as she booked 13 points and a career-high eight rebounds in a 74-68 West Virginia Conference win, Saturday afternoon.

Ohio Valley (9-8, 5-6) hit four shots from three-point range to keep up with a 44 percent shooting effort by the Golden Eagles (8-8, 6-6) as the teams slipped into the locker room deadlocked at 34-34.

The second half was decided for the University of Charleston at the free throw line as the Golden Eagles took ownership of the paint to pressure a thin Fighting Scot lineup. UC came up big by netting 17-of-20 shots from the charity stripe, while a pesky defensive effort forced Ohio Valley to shoot just 33 percent after the break.

A deciding factor in the game came in the form of depth from the Golden Eagle bench as UC outscored OVU 20-to-9 to hand the visitors some breathing room down the stretch.

NCAA Division II rebounding leader Erika Rousculp (Worthington, OH) continued her trend with a double-double of 11 points and 10 rebounds. The stat line for Rousculp was her 11th double-double of the season as she continues to be the top post-player in the WVIAC.

Point guard Chrissy Keir (Savreville, NJ) booked 11 points in the contest with seven (7-of-9) coming from the foul line. Leading scorer Lauren Davis (Cincinnati, OH) and LeAnne Ross (Marietta, OH) rounded out the double-digit scorers with 10 points each.

UC goes for its third-consecutive win with a revenge game against WVIAC opponent Bluefield State on Monday, Jan. 23 at 6:00 pm.
