Waleska, Ga. — Wallace State women’s basketball continued its dominant run Monday night, rolling to an 88–42 non-conference road win over Reinhardt University JV.

Ball movement was once again a key factor for the Lions, who recorded 26 assists on 34 made field goals, consistently finding open teammates and converting high-percentage looks throughout the night.

Four players scored in double figures, led by Taylor Smith with 16 points to go along with five rebounds, two assists and a block. Leah Childress followed with 15 points, four rebounds, six assists and a steal, while Sinaya Gibson added 15 points, nine rebounds, an assist and two steals.
