LAKE WALES, Fla. (Dec. 20, 2019) — The Truett McConnell University women's basketball team defeated Warner University 65-62 on Friday evening to conclude the team's Florida trip. The Lady Bears improved to 7-5, 3-4 AAC on the season, while the Royals failed to claim their second win of the season. 
 
PLAY-BY-PLAY
TMU's Aisya Davis closed out the opening quarter with a 3-pointer to outscore the Royals 15-12. Although the Lady Bears came out in the second with a strong start to get ahead by seven (19-12), the Royals rallied to get back out front by as many as five (19-24). But in the end two back-to-back TMU layups only allowed Warner a one-point cushion heading into halftime (31-32). 
 
Re'Tavia Floyd's 3-pointer within the first minute of the second half sparked a 9-0 scoring run to put TMU ahead by eight (40-32). In fact, all nine points featured Floyd 3-pointers. The Lady Bears ended up leading by three heading into the final quarter (44-41) and although the fourth quarter saw a tight race, TMU never allowed the Royals to gain enough momentum get ahead or tie it up.
