Box Score ROME, Ga. | The University of Alabama in Huntsville women's basketball team wrapped up its four-game road trip with a setback at Shorter on Saturday, falling 66-58. UAH slips to 11-10 (8-9 Gulf South Conference), while SU improves to 15-6 (12-5 GSC).
 
Baylee Johnson was terrific for the Chargers in the game as the freshman scored a season-best and led all players in the contest with 24 points after going a strong 8-for-12 from the field while also adding a 6-for-8 performance at the charity stripe.
 
Joining Johnson in double figures was Dina Saunders who scored 12 while grabbing six rebounds.
 
Josi Saunders led the visitors on the glass with eight boards.

The Chargers started the contest strong, scoring the game's first eight points en route to holding a 14-12 advantage at the end of the first quarter, and though UAH's lead would expand to as many as six in the second quarter, an 8-0 run for the hosts just before the half lifted Shorter to a 25-23 advantage at the break.
 
Shorter would go in front by seven at 34-27 just over two minutes into the third quarter, but UAH did not back down and ripped off a 16-6 run that was keyed by seven of Johnson's points to tilt the contest back in its favor at 43-40 with 3:31 left in the third quarter.
 
Unfortunately, Shorter answered back with a spurt of six straight points, and the Chargers were unable to push back in front in the game's closing moments.
 
For the contest, UAH held a slim advantage in field goal percentage, shooting 46.5 percent to Shorter's 46.2 percent, while SU's 17-5 advantage in second-chance points off a 29-23 rebounding difference for the Hawks helped the hosts secure the victory.
 
The Chargers will be back home for the first time in 19 days when the squad welcomes Delta State on Thursday at 5:30 p.m. at Kelly Court at Spragins Hall. DSU was a 57-46 winner in Cleveland earlier this season.
