FOUR AMBASSADORS FINISH IN DOUBLE FIGURES AS OAKWOOD OUTLASTS DILLIARD

NEW ORLEANS, La. – Four players finished in double figures, including Nariah Alexander and Denaj'za Jackson, who came up big down the stretch, as Oakwood University outlasted Dillard University 64-57 Saturday night in an important Gulf Coast Athletic Conference game inside Dent Gymnasium.

Down 55-47 early in the fourth quarter, Dillard pulled within 55-51 on a layup by Sequoia Emmanuel with 7:52 left in the game. That's when Alexander and Jackson delivered.

They hit back-to-back jumpers to push the Ambassadors' lead to 59-51 and Jackson hit two free throws with three minutes remaining to help Oakwood secure its second straight win and third in its last four games.
