MOBILE, Ala. --- The Mississippi College women's basketball team won its third straight and fourth game of the season with a 79-66 decision in its first road contest on the campaign against Spring Hill College on Thursday, Nov. 21.
 
The victory is the second in the series for the Blue and Gold and the first since Nov. 14, 2014. It is also the first on the Badgers' home floor.
 
A trio of Choctaw scored in double figures led by Tiara Abron with 20 points. It is the first 20-plus scoring effort for a MC player since Amelia Bell totaled 30 points on Jan. 29, 2024 at Christian Brothers University.
 
Bell chimed in a season-high 16 points and grabbed a team-best seven rebounds in the victory while Tytiana Buckley added 10 points – two shy of matching her season-high.
 
MC shot 52.7 percent from the field in the contest and connected on 16-of-20 from the free-throw line. The group pulled down 32 rebounds.
 
The Choctaw never trailed and led for 39:21. The contest saw only one stalemate (2-2) – one minute in. MC reached its largest lead of the game with 1:09 left to play before the intermission as Buckley concluded a 3-point play with a free throw.
 
The Blue and Gold reached its first double-digit advantage at the 1:58 mark of the first quarter, but led by only six at the end of the period. However, the squad pushed the margin back to double figures midway thru the second stanza and maintain the gap the remainder of the way, including the entire final period.
 
MC held the advantage in nearly analysis scoring column, but claimed its biggest pluses in points in the paint, as it outscored the Purple and Gold by 13 points, and received 19 points from the bench while SHC picked up just five points from its reserves.
 
Mississippi College returns to action on Tuesday, Nov. 26 as it hosts Henderson State University. Tip-off is 5:30 p.m.
