Women’s basketball wins on Batiste’s monumental day

LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Zaneiya Batiste put on a show for the Golden Eagles as Spalding took down Blackburn 70-62 in a St. Louis Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SLIAC) clash on Saturday.

The Golden Eagles are now 5-16 overall and 2-8 in the SLIAC. Spalding is one game out of a tie for sixth place with four games left in the regular season. The top six teams make the SLIAC Tournament. The Beavers fell to 2-18 and 0-10 in league play.

TURNING POINT
The shorthanded Golden Eagles squad, with only eight players active, had a tough task ahead of them. It was tight in the first quarter there were three lead changes and four ties.

A 9-0 SU run in the second quarter gave the home team an advantage they held onto for the rest of the game. Isis Rodgers, who had a career-high six points and eight rebounds in the contest, and Sydney Raque combined to score all nine points in the run.

Freshman Zaneiya Batiste shined as she earned a career-best 21-point, 20-rebound double-double. It was the first 20-20 double for Spalding since March 2014. It was also the first 20-rebound performance for the Golden Eagles since 2015.

Spalding earned the win 70-62 to sweep the season series with Blackburn College. Two home and two away games remain in the regular season for the Golden Eagles.
