The Lady Bears traveled to Milligan College Tuesday night for their first AAC match-up of the season. The Women's Basketball team fell in an early 26-12 hole in the first quarter and ultimately fell to the Lady Buffaloes 86-51. The Lady Bears are now 2-2 for the season and 0-1 in AAC play.

Despite going back and forth for the first four minutes, the Buffs made an early lead in the first, and they never looked back. The Buffs went on a 9-0 run to finish out the quarter, and they led by double digits the rest of the game. 
Bralise Reese led the Bears in scoring with 19 points on the night. She was the only Bear to reach double digits in scoring. Following Reese, Sierra Kendall and Mikayla Miles both recorded nine points and Madison Curtis had eight. Kendall also led the Bears in rebounds with eight.
