Scott powers women’s basketball road victory

Forward Tequila Hamilton scored the go-ahead layup with 44 seconds remaining, and the Marshall University women’s basketball team preserved a 64-61 victory Saturday on the road against the University of Alabama at Birmingham.

The victory moved the Herd’s record to 14-6 overall with a 4-5 conference mark, while the Blazers fell to 10-10 overall and 3-6 on the conference.

While Hamilton scored the go-ahead field goal, senior forward Leah Scott had done the majority of the team’s scoring to that point. Scott tied a career-high with 26 points on 6-12 shooting to go with eight rebounds and three assists.
