Generals Pick Up Big Conference Win Against Xavier

Alexandria, LA- The Generals picked up a big win tonight, with a score of 72-64, over Xavier, defending The Fort and playing true team ball. 
 
To start the game, Xavier came out with the hot hand leading the Generals up until there was 48 seconds left in the first quarter before Amani Gray lifted her teammates into the lead with a free-throw. The Generals were able to maintain that lead, going into half-time up ten points, 34-24.  Coming out of half-time, Xavier tried to battle back, but the Generals were determined to defend The Fort and were able to close out the game against Xavier. 
 
Point guard Dannah Martin-Hartwick had a hot hand tonight leading the team with 17 points, and following right behind her was Jewel Jones, with 15 points. Jones went 4-4 from the field overall and a perfect 2-2 from the three-point range. Amani Gray also recorded her first double-double of the season scoring 12 points, grabbing 11 boards, shared the ball well with 6 assist, and Gray also had 5 steals. 
 
Alex Harrison also had a night hitting key three pointers in just the right moment. Harrison scored 14 points, going 4-7 from the three-point range, and overall, from the field 5-10. Here's what Harrison had to say on the preparation and focus leading into the game, and thoughts on the game overall: "We put a lot of focus on rebounding and assist this game, and on the practices leading up to the game. Everyone bought in and worked hard in practice. We were all locked in and ready to start the new year off right, with a win. Everyone played hard tonight, and it was a great team win. We shared the ball well and we crashed the boards hard. I feel like I played my part and hit some good shots, but those good shots came from great passes from my teammates as well. I'm super proud of our effort and intensity tonight and I'm ready to get back to work and bring home the next win".
 
"I'm very proud of the team tonight", said Perkins, "We (the coaching staff) challenged our players to be more physical and crash the board this week and during the game we came out and performed well. This was a great team win against a well-coached team".
 
The Generals will be back at home, taking on the Southwest Mustangs, on Saturday, January 7th. Tip-off is set for 2:00 PM.
