HUNTSVILLE, Ala. – Nekaya Williams continued her hot play Monday night, finishing with a game-high 24 points, but Stillman College outlasted Oakwood University 66-59 in overtime inside Ashby Auditorium in a nonconference game.
 
The loss dropped the Ambassadors to 6-14 overall. The Tigers improved to 13-9.
 
Oakwood led 14-6 after the first quarter and took its largest lead of the night with just under four minutes left before halftime on a layup by Williams to go up 22-11.
 
Unfortunately, Stillman closed the first half and the third quarter with a combined 14-5 run to pull within 40-34 going into the fourth quarter.
 
Denaj'za Jackson's layup gave the Ambassadors a 44-37 advantage with just over eight minutes remaining, but the Tigers regained the lead, before Williams' two free throws with 44 seconds left forced overtime.
 
Williams' 3-pointer pulled Oakwood within 60-59 with 37 seconds left in the extra period, but Stillman scored the last six points to complete the season sweep.
