JACKSON, Miss. – Oakwood University saw its season come to an end Thursday afternoon as Fisk University came away with a 71-52 victory in the first round of the Gulf Coast Athletic Conference Women's Basketball Championship at Tougaloo College's Owens Health and Wellness Center.

The Ambassadors finished the season 5-22 with the loss. Fisk, who beat Oakwood for the second time in six days, improved to 19-7 and advanced to the semifinals on Saturday.

Oakwood shot 31.7 percent (20-of-63) from the field, including 26.1 percent (6-of-23) from 3-point range, and 60 percent (6-of-10) from the free throw line.
