JAGUAR REWIND: Augusta Women Have Historic Season

Augusta, Ga. - It was a historic season for the Augusta University women's basketball season as they won the Peach Belt Conference Tournament for the first time in 33 years in March. The women knocked off Georgia College for the title. The win also gave the Jaguars an automatic birth into the NCAA Tournament where they would fall to Lenoir-Rhyne in the opening round.

Quinasia Abercrombie led Augusta in the PBC tournament championship game with 19 points and was named tournament Most Valuable Player. Amari Jackson and Elyse Autrey were also named to the all tournament team. The game was tied with just over three minutes to play before the Jaguars scored the last five points of the game for the historic victory. 

On the year, Augusta finished 21-10 and became the first team in program history to produce three straight 20-win seasons. 

The season was also highlighted by a road win against No. 2 Coker in November. Not only that, the team posted a win over every Peach Belt Conference foe over the course of the year, including a win over No. 8 Columbus St. in the semifinals of the PBC tournament.
