With four players scoring in double figures, the Lady Bears opened MACJC South Division play Monday night with a 66-63 road win over the Hinds Lady Bulldogs.
 
A pair of Jamaya Galloway free throws helped the Lady Bears take an early 6-2 lead over their hosts. Hinds then came back to knot the score at 6-all with 5:11 left in the opening quarter.
 
After buckets from Mylicia Harness and Amari Pittman put the Lady Bears (3-4, 1-0 South) back on top 11-6, Hinds scored nine of the final 13 points to take a 16-15 advantage headed into the second quarter.
 
With the score tied at 18-18, Hinds outscored the Lady Bears 7-0 to go ahead 25-20 with 5:17 left before halftime. After falling behind 26-25, thanks to a pair of
Maddi Gatte three pointers, with 4:26 on the clock, Hinds outscored the Lady Bears 8-4 to end the half and take a 33-30 lead.
 
The Lady Bears outscored Hinds 8-5 to open the third quarter and tied the game at 38-38.

"That was a really, really good road win," said Lady Bears head coach Brent Harris. "We had to call on our individual defensive responsibility and our team defensive responsibility."
 
"Jamaya played with great poise," Harris continued. "All of our posts were awesome on the boards. Maddi and Tootie Rankin met the defensive challenge tonight and Tootie Carter had a tremendous block late (in the game)."
