Royals Take Down Phoenix in East Tennessee

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. - - Cumberland women's basketball fell to Johnson on Tuesday evening, dropping 90-63.

The Phoenix found themselves playing from behind early as Johnson jumped out to a 21-10 advantage after the opening quarter. The Royals continued to build on that momentum in the second period, outscoring Cumberland 28-15 to take a 49-25 lead into halftime.

Cumberland looked to respond coming out of the break, matching Johnson with 15 points apiece in the third quarter. The Phoenix continued to battle in the final period, putting together their highest-scoring quarter of the night with 23 points, but the early deficit proved too much to overcome.

Emaleigh Tarpley led the Phoenix offensively with a game-high 20 points, shooting 7-of-13 from the floor while adding 10 rebounds to record a double-double. Cara Lee Gilbert added 16 points and four rebounds, going a perfect 8-of-8 from the free-throw line.

Dayonna Perryman contributed seven points and four rebounds, while Faith Colston finished with seven rebounds and five points. Julia Varpness added nine rebounds and five points, helping Cumberland finish with 46 total rebounds.

The Phoenix finished the evening shooting 32.3 percent from the field and converted 22-of-27 attempts at the free-throw line. Cumberland will be back in action on Saturday, heading down the road to face off with Fisk at 1 PM.
