East Mississippi Community College's basketball winning streaks jointly improved to four consecutive games, as the EMCC men's and women's teams swept Northwest Mississippi on the road during Monday night MACJC North Division action played at Howard Coliseum. The visiting Lady Lions overcame an early double-digit deficit to claim a 58-48 victory, while the Lions men recovered from a six-point halftime hole to earn a 74-67 nightcap win over the Rangers. In the women's opener, the Lady Rangers jumped out to a 15-3 lead with Ariel Tunstall and Kayla Bradley combining for 13 of Northwest's 15 first-quarter points. Following Aamiya Rush's pair of free throws with less than a minute left in the quarter, Brianna Page's 3-pointer at the buzzer cut the deficit to 15-8 to give the visitors some needed momentum. The Lady Lions continued to battle back during the second quarter. Consecutive steals and resulting scores by Alaysha Jennings aided the comeback midway through the period. Rush's three-point basket later capped a 10-2 run that turned a five-point deficit into a 26-23 EMCC lead at the intermission. The third quarter featured four lead changes and three ties before Page's second 3-pointer of the game put the visitors on top (46-43) for good. After Emily Evans' basket gave EMCC a 48-44 lead at the end of the quarter, Tye Metcalf's made trey off an inbounds play extended the lead to eight points (53-45) early in the final period. Northwest would not get any closer than five points the rest of the way, as the Lady Lions scored the game's last five points at the charity stripe to secure their first season series sweep over the Lady Rangers since the 2013-14 season. With their fourth consecutive win on the year, Coach Sharon Thompson's EMCC Lady Lions improved to 10-11 overall and 7-3 in division play to claim current sole possession of second place in the MACJC North Division women's standings behind Itawamba. Once again for the EMCC women, Page was instrumental in victory by registering her second straight double-double with game-high totals of 20 points and 13 rebounds. Metcalf followed close behind by scoring 13 of her 19 points in the second half for the winners. Falling to 7-13 overall and 2-8 within the division, the Lady Rangers were led by Tunstall's 16 points on 6-of-8 shooting from the field. Courtesy of: emccathletics.com

Rebounding coupled with aggressive offense led to victory in Monday evening's women's basketball game as the Saints hosted the Albany Technical College Titans on February 4, ending the night with an 82-52 win. The Saints took the lead after the first two and a half minutes of the game and never looked back, and at one point led by as much as 40. A spark to the offensive effort in the first quarter was Chardell Jones, quickly scoring six of her 10 points to get the ball rolling. Saints Head Coach Chanda Stebbins notes, "I was very proud of our team energy and that resulted in a great rebounding margin of +19." Clamping down defensively, the Saints held the Titans to just nine points in the third quarter. Truly a team effort, every Saints player saw action and contributed both offensively and defensively. "Great game by the entire team today," Stebbins continued, "We came out in the third quarter and really responded to the challenge we gave them; I would have liked to see us carry this over to the fourth quarter. It was nice to see our assists to be solidly better than our turnovers." Stephanie Jackson led all scorers with 16 points and seven assists, with Camille Pringle adding 13 and Jones finishing with 12. The Saints (16-7, 5-1 MFC) will hit the road in a showdown against FSC - Jacksonville on Saturday, February 9 at 2:00 p.m., before heading back home for their final regular season home game on Wednesday, February 13.
