MOBILE, Ala-- The University of Mobile women's basketball team fell 60-67 at home to Southern University at New Orleans in Gulf Coast Athletic Conference action Thursday evening at Pharr Gym.
 

Adrienne Mackay was the only Lady Ram to tally double figures, scoring 12 points on 6-of-7 shooting. Davina Jefferson added 9 for Mobile and Alice Honnery finished with 8 rebounds and 4 blocks.
 

Jessica Adams led three Lady Knights in double figures with 18 points, Kiarra Sims added 11 and Martynique Hampton finished with 10 points.
