PINE BLUFF, Ark.— The Alabama A&M women's basketball team was handed a 57-48 loss Monday night by the University of Arkansas-Pine Bluff Lady Lions in the H.O. Clemmons Arena.

The Lady Lions (4-16, 2-8 SWAC) jumped out to an early 12-2 lead in the first seven minutes of the first quarter, but the Lady Bulldogs (8-13, 2-7) responded well to cut that lead to 14-10 heading into the second quarter. 

Both teams continued to trade baskets throughout the second frame with the Lady Bulldogs taken a 16-14 lead with 7:57 on the clock. Alabama A&M would hold onto the lead until a UAPB jumper put the Lady Lions ahead by two with 3:28 remaining. UAPB extended their lead and held a three-point advantage, 26-23, at the half.

The third quarter was also very even, before the Arkansas-Pine Bluff extended their lead to eight at the end of the third quarter.

AAMU upped the pressure in the fourth quarter with DeShawna Harper opening up with a three-pointer to cut the Lady Lions deficit to five. The Lady Bulldogs would get within one, 47-46, with 4:44 to play. UAPB responded with a 10-2 run and went on to record the 57-48 victory.
