GAFFNEY, S.C. – Anderson women's basketball (11-2, 3-2 SAC) cruised to a South Atlantic Conference road win over Limestone (7-7, 1-5 SAC), 85-69, on Wednesday evening at the Timken Center.

"Great team win tonight," said head coach Jonathon Barbaree. "I thought we shared the ball really well tonight and took good shots throughout the game."

"Defensively, we caused good live ball turnovers that led to some great runs outs for transition," explained Barbaree.

"Also, congratulations to Diamond for breaking the AU all-time record for career double-doubles," added Barbaree.

Anderson set the tone scoring 29 points in the first quarter of action and leading by as many as 25 points in the fourth quarter.

Three AU players scored in double-figure scoring with 8-of-11 players scoring at least three points in the contest.

Leading all-scorers was senior Nelliah Wilson dropping in a game-high 21 points while ripping down seven rebounds. Junior Diamond McDowell nearly recorded a triple-double netting 19 points, grabbing 12 rebounds and dishing out eight assists. McDowell becomes the AU all-time career double-double leader with 27. The native of Asheboro, N.C. also continues to move up the list in career rebounds and block shot categories for the Trojans. Senior Zamiya Passmore just missed a double-double chipping in 13 points, chasing down nine rebounds. Passmore was also credited with six assists. Providing scoring from off the bench was Peytyn Oliver (8 points), Martyna Radzicka (6 points) and Maggie Campbell (3 points).

Limestone placed four players in double-figures with Kalisha Hill scoring 18 points for the Saints.
