Women's Basketball Open Warner Classic with 58-39 win over Royals

LAKE WALES, Fla.--Cumberland Women's Basketball's defense shines as they go on the road to get a 58-39 win over Warner in the first game of the Warner Classic.

Cumberland (5-5) gets back to .500 with the win. The Phoenix held the Royals to 24.1% shooting from the field and held the Royals to 2-of-26 from three. Cumberland dominated the boards out-rebounding Warner 46-to-27 with 13 offensive rebounds that translates to 12 second chance points. 

Kayla Gordon backed up her 34 point performance last time out with 19 points in today's game going 9-of-14 from the field. She also added six rebounds and four assists. Myajae Eubanks notched a double-double with 12 points and 11 rebounds. 

Lindsey Freeman and Jana Claire Swafford each posted seven points. Freshman Faith Colston made her first career start scoring four points with eight rebounds and two assists. Cumberland scored just nine points off the bench Maddie Brillhart netted five points and Alyssa Goehring and Mariyah Person each posted two. 

Warner (5-4) struggled from the field going 14-of-58 from the field and made 2-of-26 triples. The Phoenix held the Royals to under 10 points in three of the four quarters of play. Courtney Logan and Jasmine Edwards posted 12 points a piece to lead. Warner had just one point off their bench. 

First quarter action was slow as both teams struggled from the field. Cumberland scored on back-to-back possessions to take a 4-2 lead with 7:21 left in the quarter before falling scoreless for three minutes. Fortunately, over that stretch Cumberland held Warner scoreless for five minutes to build a 7-2 lead. Over the final three minutes of the first the Royals went on 5-0 run to tie the game at 7-7 at the end of the first. 

The Phoenix started the second quarter on a 5-0 run as Eubanks made a two and Brillhart drained a three. Warner answered to tie the game at 12-12 with five minutes left in the quarter. 

The two sides traded points the rest of the way as Cumberland scored the final bucket to go up 18-16 at the break. 

Out of the break, Swafford netted the first two baskets to spark a 6-0 run for CU. The Phoenix quickly built that to a 12-point lead after another stretch of three straight baskets, two from Colston, to lead 33-21 with 5:23 in the third. 

Cumberland built on that to lead by 13 going into the fourth up 38-25. 

To start the fourth, Gordon hit a jumper and then drilled a triple to go up by 16, 43-27. Warner then went on a 6-0 run to get back within 10, but that was as close as they would get as the Phoenix would go on to win 58-39. 

Cumberland will be back in action tomorrow as they take on Webber International tomorrow at 1:00 p.m. to close the Warner Classic.
