The Tuskegee University women's basketball team pushed its winning streak to five games in a row with a 58-52 win on the road over Paine College in Augusta, (Ga.) Saturday afternoon. The Golden Tigers improve to 6-1 overall and 2-0 in Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SIAC) play while also remaining undefeated on the road.

Alexis Carter earned her fourth consecutive double-double and sixth of the season through seven games scoring 16 points and grabbing 13 rebounds against the Lions. The Senior forward also contributed four blocked shots. Both India Blakely and Jade Wilson added 11 points apiece while Wilson also hauled in six boards. Shelle Daniels fell just shy of achieving a double-double pouring in 10 points and eight rebounds.  

In a game that featured 10 lead changes, neither team shot the ball particularly well as the Golden Tigers finished 0-of-11 from three point range with Paine only connecting on 3-of-16 attempts for 18.8 percent from beyond the arc. Despite the game going back and forth most of the afternoon, TU was only outscored in one period, 19-8 in the third.

The biggest disparity in the game was the fact that Skegee outscored the Lions in the paint, 16-0. TU held its biggest lead of the game (6) points at the very end with 56 seconds left to play.

The team will once again put its streak on the line Wednesday morning Dec. 5 when they travel to Pensacola to face West Florida. Tip off is set for 10:00 a.m. CT.
