Strong Second Half Lifts UAH to Road Win at Montevallo

MONTEVALLO, Ala. | The University of Alabama in Huntsville women's basketball team picked up a road win on Saturday, knocking off host Montevallo 81-67. The Chargers improve to 11-10 (9-6 Gulf South Conference) with the victory, while UM falls to 11-12 (7-8 GSC).
 
Turning Point
-Katie Speegle had consecutive layups and Emiline Payne buried back-to-back treys to create a 10-0 run over two minutes early in the third that turned a four-point deficit into a lead that the Chargers would not relinquish the rest of the game.

-Baylee Johnson scored 18 and grabbed a team-best 10 rebounds to notch a double-double, and the senior also collected a team-high three steals while dishing out three assists.
-Aryn Sanders added 15 for UAH and Payne chipped in with 10, and both collected four assists to match Speegle for the team high in helpers.

-Montevallo scored the first two buckets of the third quarter before UAH's 10-0 spurt from Speegle and Payne put the guests ahead, and the Chargers led by as much as six points prior to carrying a 53-48 advantage into the game's final stanza.
-UAH outscored the Falcons 28-19 in the fourth, pushing the margin out to 14 points four different times including at the game's final buzzer with the score 81-67.
