UNA WOMEN RALLY TO STUN DOLPHINS 62-59

JACKSONVILLE, Fla., – North Alabama overcame a 10-point deficit with 1:17 to play to stun host Jacksonville 62-59 Tuesday in ASUN Conference women's basketball action. The road win gives UNA a 12-2 overall record with a 3-1 mark in league play.
 
The Lions trailed 57-47 at the 1:17 mark before closing the game on a 15-2 run. Emma Wallen gave UNA the lead in the final minute of play. The junior was fouled as she drained a three-point shot to tie the game at 59-59 with 35 seconds remaining. Her free throw converted the four-point play and put the Lions ahead by a single point.
 
UNA got a defensive stop on the ensuing possession and Ivy Wallen sank two free throws with one second to play to seal the victory.
 
With the win, North Alabama takes over sole possession of second place in the ASUN standings. The Lions are now 2-0 in road conference games. Jacksonville lost for just the fifth time at home over the last four seasons.
 
The Dolphins led by as many as five in the first quarter before UNA rallied to tie the game at 14-14 at the end of the period. North Alabama led 26-22 at the break.
 
In the second half, JU began to take control on the boards, grabbing five offensive rebounds in the third period alone. Jacksonville led 43-42 heading into the fourth quarter.
 
The Lions went 6:45 without scoring in the fourth quarter as JU built its double-digit lead. After a basket by Ansley Eubank tied the game at 47-47 with 8:02 remaining, the Dolphins scored 10 straight points. JU hit 1-of-2 free throws and had possession with the 57-47 lead at the 1:17 mark following the first of two technical fouls against UNA down the stretch.
 
Emma Wallen started the rally, drawing a foul on the inbounds play and hitting both free throws to make the score 57-49. The JU lead remained eight following a basket by Brittany Panetti and two free throws by the Dolphins after another technical foul on the UNA bench.
 
Ivy Wallen, however, countered with a three-pointer and Emma Wallen added a jumper to make the score 59-56 in the final minute of play.
 
After grabbing a defensive rebound with 41 seconds to play, Emma drove to the left wing and launched her three-pointer, drawing the foul in the process. The trey broke a string of 23 consecutive misses from long range for the junior. Her free throw gave the Lions the lead for good.
 
Panetti recorded a block on the ensuing possession and the Dolphins missed a desperation three-pointer after grabbing another offensive rebound.
 
Panetti finished with 22 points and six rebounds to lead UNA. Eubank added 13 points while Ivy Wallen scored all 12 of her points in the second half. Jasmyn Brown led Jacksonville (9-8 overall, 2-2 ASUN) with 17 points.
