KEYS, MURRAY, SANDERS COMBINE FOR 58 POINTS TO HELP OAKWOOD OUTLAST WASHINGTON ADVENTIST IN SEASON OPENER

HUNTSVILLE, Ala. – Saniya Keys, Kamaria Murray and Shaniya Sanders combined for 58 points to help Oakwood University outlast Washington Adventist University 76-74 Saturday night inside Ashby Auditorium in the season opener for both teams.
 
The Ambassadors led 65-50 with just over seven minutes left in the fourth period, but the Shock used a 22-5 run to take its last lead of the game at 72-70 on a free by Litzy Lujan-Gonzales.
 
However, Keys tied the game at 72-all with a jumper with 1:48 remaining and Morgan Bone's jumper gave Oakwood the lead for good with 56 seconds left.
 
Takeriauna Mosley's two free throws with seven seconds remaining sealed the win for the Ambassadors.
 
"We relaxed after getting the big lead," Oakwood coach Ronnie Abrams said. "Fortunately, we were able to make some plays at the end and win the game. We'll learn from this and get better."
 
Keys finished with 22 points and 11 rebounds on 10-of-16 shooting.
 
Murray, who is still playing with the Ambassadors' volleyball team, scored 22 points, grabbed five rebounds and had four assists. She was 5-of-12 from the field, including 4-of-7 from 3-point range and 6-of-9 from the free throw line.
