Columbus State Surges to Road Win Over Warhawks

MONTGOMERY, Ala. – The Columbus State University Cougars (3-1) exploded for a 28-point second quarter as it rolled to a 84-59 win against the Auburn University at Montgomery Warhakws women's basketball team (0-4) on Saturday afternoon at the AUM Athletics Complex.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
First Quarter
In the opening quarter, a Letiya Reeves three-point basket helped Columbus State begin the game with a 9-4 burst.

The Warhawks responded to pull within one thanks a pair of free throws and a transition jumper from Tamora Brown before the Cougars scored five of the final six points to take a 20-15 lead.

A 10-2 sprint by the Cougars, including a pair of three-pointers from Alana Hankerson and Nekaya Williams, helped the visitors open up a double-digit advantage. 
 
Second Quarter
Columbus State continued its offensively-charged second quarter with a balanced attack to balloon the lead to 20 before AUM's Jaden Toney added two free throws in the final seconds of the half to trim the lead to 46-28 at the halftime intermission.
 
Third Quarter
The Cougars had their most efficient shooting quarter of the afternoon in the third quarter, as they shot 61 percent (11-for-18) from the field.
 
Fourth Quarter
A Williams layup early in the fourth quarter pushed Columbus State to its largest lead of the afternoon at 76-44.

AUM closed out the game on 15-8 run thanks in part to six points from Brown and five points from Naveah Small in the closing minutes of the contest.
