SAU Edges WSSU In Women's Basketball Thriller; Williams Scores 1,000th Career Point

RALEIGH, N.C. (Feb. 8) – Angela Caraballo (Sr./Richmond, VA) led three players in double figures with 16 points and Kaaliya Williams (Sr./Richmond, VA) scored her 1,000th career point as Saint Augustine's University edged Winston-Salem State University 67-64 Saturday in a thrilling CIAA women's basketball contest at Emery Gymnasium on Senior Day.

Williams scored 14 points and Kamya Renwicks (Sr./Baltimore, MD) collected 12 points for the Lady Falcons, who scored 26 points off 18 Rams' turnovers. Jordyn Burton (So./Durham, NC) played her best game in a Lady Falcons uniform, posting season highs of eight points, 11 rebounds and six blocks. She helped the Lady Falcons dominate the interior, outscoring the Rams 36-24.

Their defense and inside play gave the Lady Falcons the edge in a contest that featured 11 ties and 14 lead changes. The score was tied 63-63 with 49 seconds left but Renwicks scored the final four points as the Lady Falcons outscored the Rams 4-1.

After Renwicks' free throw with five seconds left gave the Lady Falcons a three-point lead, the Rams had a chance to tie but Milequa Eason (Jr./Woodland, NC) blocked a three-point attempt as time expired.

Taylor Daniels scored 16 points and Melody Prichard added 11 points for the Rams (5-8 CIAA, 10-14 overall), who twice led by 12 points in the second period. The Lady Falcons pulled ahead late three times, including a 35-34 halftime lead on a layup by Tanisha Wall (Sr./Franklinton, NC).

The Lady Falcons (4-10 CIAA, 9-15 overall) won on a day when Williams reached the 1,000-point plateau. Needing eight points entering the game, Williams achieved the milestone on the first of two free throws with 3:28 left in the second period. At halftime, Williams was recognized at midcourt for her accomplishment.

SAU tied the season series 1-1 with the victory over its Southern Division opponent. The Lady Falcons lost to the Rams in Winston-Salem, N.C., in December 2019.

After SAU's victory, twelve seniors, including eight Lady Falcons, received framed action photos and commemorative jerseys at midcourt during a ceremony. The Lady Falcon seniors were Caraballo, Willliams, Renwicks, Quiera Gilmore (Charlotte, NC), Kiana Clark (Queens, NY), Shankia Clark (Orlando, FL), Wall and Nia Moore (Deltona, FL). The other four seniors were SAU men's basketball players Jalen Gaddy, Otis Hill, Jr. and Hirk Williams and Blue Chips cheerleader Nyshanti Greene.

The contest was the last home game of the season for the Lady Falcons, who play four straight road games during a two-week span before the CIAA Tournament. They visit Johnson C. Smith University in Charlotte, N.C., on Tuesday, Feb. 11, at 5:30 p.m.
