Box Score The LeMoyne-Owen women's basketball team dropped their season opener to Mississippi college tonight in a game that would be decided in the final minutes. The Lady Magicians were ice cold from the field, shooting just %28 percent for the game and %25 from 3-point range. Freshman Jayla Fuller provided nearly %50 percent of the teams scoring and nailed three of her four three-point field goal attempts. Fuller was the only player in double figures for the team, finishing with 16 points on 5/10 shooting. Outside of Fuller's three-point field goals, the team went 0-9 from distance.

 Mississippi College took a 28-23 lead into half time, a lead that they would never give up the whole night. Although they were able to pull out a 46-41 victory they struggled offensively as well, shooting only %28 percent from the field. The difference in the game seemed to be that they connected on more three-point field goals, draining six of their twenty-one three point field goals attempted on the night. The Choctaws were led in scoring by forward Amelia Bell who scored 12 points and grabbed 9 rebounds, also in double figures for Mississippi College was guard Kyiah Julian.

The Lady Magicians return to action tomorrow evening at 5:30pm on the road against Delta State University.
