ADAMS CONTINUES HOT PLAY IN LOSS TO RUST COLLEGE

HOLLY SPRINGS, Miss. – Trenisha Adams scored a game-high 17 points, but Rust College flexed its muscle over the last two quarters, outscoring Oakwood University 43-22 over that stretch and went on to beat the Ambassadors 70-41 Monday night inside Kinzell Lawson Gymnasium in a Gulf Coast Athletic Conference game.

Oakwood trailed just 27-19 at intermission, but never threatened over the last 20 minutes.

The Ambassadors fell to 7-16 overall and 5-9 in league play with the loss. The Bearcats extended their winning streak to nine straight games and improved to 22-3 and 14-1 with the win.

The rest of the team combined for just 24 points.

Oakwood shot 25 percent (15-of-60) from the field, including 18.2 percent (4-of-22) from beyond the arc, and 70 percent (7-of-10) from the free throw line.
