RENO, Nev. – The Alabama women’s basketball team, behind a career-high 20 points from junior Breanna Hayden, won the 2015 Nugget Classic after topping Utah Valley, 67-60, on Saturday at the Lawlor Events Center on the campus of the University of Nevada. With the win, the Crimson Tide moves to 6-0 for the first time since the 2002 season, while the loss drops the Wolverines to 6-2.
“I’m proud,” said Alabama head coach Kristy Curry. “I thought we showed a lot of toughness. We played a very good team that had nine returning players, and they’re bringing their leading scorer from a year ago off the bench.
