The Dolphins (11-7, 3-4 ASUN) were led by graduate student guard <a href=\"https:\/\/judolphins.com\/sports\/womens-basketball\/roster\/priscilla-williams\/6777\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"6777\" target=\"_blank\">Priscilla Williams<\/a> who recorded a 14-point, 13-rebound double-double.<\/p>\n<p>The game started as a tight battle. Junior forward <a href=\"https:\/\/judolphins.com\/sports\/womens-basketball\/roster\/carmaya-bowman\/8580\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"8580\" target=\"_blank\">Carmaya Bowman<\/a> scored a bucket in the paint to put the Dolphins up 8-7 early, but the Colonels would start to separate from there.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Sophomore guard <a href=\"https:\/\/judolphins.com\/sports\/womens-basketball\/roster\/mychal-white\/8577\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"8577\" target=\"_blank\">Mychal White<\/a> kept JU in range in the first, driving hard to the paint and earning a pair of free throws then throwing up a perfect floater off the backboard for a fast-break bucket. EKU controlled the game, though, leading 29-17 at the quarter break.<\/p>\n<p>The Colonels took the first 15 points of the quarter, before senior <a href=\"https:\/\/judolphins.com\/sports\/womens-basketball\/roster\/makiya-miller\/8584\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"8584\" target=\"_blank\">Makiya Miller<\/a> ended the run with back-to-back buckets. White and freshman <a href=\"https:\/\/judolphins.com\/sports\/womens-basketball\/roster\/tatum-brown\/8578\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"8578\" target=\"_blank\">Tatum Brown<\/a> got on the board in the second, but EKU took a 54-27 lead into halftime.<\/p>\n<p>In the third quarter, Jacksonville finally found its spark. The Dolphins&#8217; defense set the tone, holding the Colonels to 16 points.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Jacksonville opened on an 11-4 run, with junior <a href=\"https:\/\/judolphins.com\/sports\/womens-basketball\/roster\/bailey-burns\/6774\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"6774\" target=\"_blank\">Bailey Burns<\/a> hitting a triple and a layup to key the run. The Dolphins got it done from the free throw line in the third, scoring nine of their 26 points from the charity stripe.<\/p>\n<p>In all, JU outscored the Colonels 24-16 in the third, cutting into the deficit. The fourth quarter featured more strong defense from the Dolphins, allowing just 12 points in the period. However, Jacksonville&#8217;s offense couldn&#8217;t find a run to close the gap, as EKU closed out the game for the 19-point win.<\/p>\n<p>Game Notes&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;\n<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n\tThree Dolphins (Williams, Brown and Burns) scored in double figures.
