Tuscaloosa, AL LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – The Alabama women's basketball team defeated the Little Rock Trojans, 63-39, Sunday afternoon inside Jack Stephens Center.

Alabama (5-0) was led by three starters who posted double figures, led by Sarah Ashlee Barker's game-high 15 points. Jessica Timmons (14) and Loyal McQueen (10) also reached double-digit scoring, while Timmons led the Crimson Tide on the glass with a career-best nine rebounds. The Trojans (0-4) were led by Leilani Wimbish-Gay with seven points and six rebounds. Head Coach Kristy Curry Postgame Comments "Proud of our team today. Any win on the road is a good win and this is a hard place to play. Traditionally, Coach [Joe Foley] has done a great job with his system and style of play. [Little Rock] likes to limit possessions and make it ugly. At the end of the day, our team found a way, especially in the third, to come out and get some buckets. I thought [Jessica Timmons] got going, we needed someone on the road to step up and make some plays, and I thought she had some toughness about her in the third. Good win for our program today."Alabama returns to action Nov. 24, opening play at the Betty Chancellor Classic in a game against Louisville at the Leonard E. Merrell Center in Katy, Texas |
