Lady Pirates Ease Past ASU

SAVANNAH, Ga. – Augusta State suffered its lowest scoring output of the season Saturday afternoon in a 64-41 Peach Belt Conference loss at Armstrong Atlantic State in Alumni Arena.

The setback, the Lady Jaguars' sixth straight, dropped them to 5-18 overall and 3-13 in the PBC. The Lady Pirates won for the third time in four games, improving to 14-9 and 9-7, respectively.

Armstrong held ASU to just two field goals in the first half, building a 32-18 halftime. AASU's Lacey Willis delivered a double-double with 19 points and 10 rebounds, hitting 9-of-12 shots from the floor. Ashley Duhart chipped in 12 points, while Dartayvia Thomas notched seven points, 10 rebounds and four assists.

The Lady Jags did not place a player in double figures on the day. Junior guard Brittany Jarrard came off the bench to hit 7-of-10 free throws to pace ASU with nine points. Leading scorer Jasmine Godwin was limited to two points, nearly 11 below her average.

The Lady Jags finished just 12-of-43 from the floor (27.9 percent) and connected on just 1-of-9 shots from beyond the arc. AASU suffered through a cold shooting day from long range, hitting just 4-of-26 three-point shots (15.4 percent) but the Lady Pirates hit 20-of-36 from two-point range (55.6 percent).

AASU jumped out to a 12-3 lead and never trailed. The Lady Pirates outscored ASU 30-12 in the paint and nearly doubled up the Lady Jags on the boards 49-26.
