Lady Bearcats Extinguish Lady Bleu Devils

NEW ORLEANS, La. – The Rust College women's basketball program allowed less than 50 points for the second straight evening, cruising past Dillard University by double-digits for its nine consecutive win, 65-47.

Coach Eric Jackson's ladies have pummeled nearly every opponent in its path this season, having not lost since dropping back-to-back contests on November 19 and 20 while claiming six of those victories by double-figures including all four GCAC tilts.

Shay Johnson delivered her third 20-plus point explosion of the campaign, putting up nearly one-third of the Blue and White's 65 points with a game-best 21 of her own (32.3%) on 6-for-13 shooting (46.2%) plus eight free throws and a pair of assists.

Katie Blackmon put work in and registered her sixth double-double of 2021-22, crashing the glass with a game-high 13 boards on top of 11 points and two more game-highs of three blocks as well as three steals.

India Green re-emerged with a solid 21 minutes off the pine, tallying six rebounds, five points, two dimes and a steal.

Niya McGuire only saw the court for nine minutes of but made it count with four points, four rebounds and three blocks in just that short 540-second window.

Rust College will get its second look at Tougaloo College in the past two weeks when it hosts the Lady Bulldogs on Monday at 5:30 p.m. to conclude its first regular season home-and-home series in conference play.
