BLUEFIELD, Va. -- The Bluefield College women's basketball team had its six-game winning streak broken in the "Battle of the Bluefields" series on Monday night in the Dome Gymnasium, as Bluefield State College used the second half for the come-from-behind 64-53 win at the Dome Gymnasium. Bluefield holds an 8-3 edge in the series over the last 11 meetings.

Destiny Tolliver continued her strong early season play for Bluefield (4-4) with 16 points and 11 rebounds, while Maryah Mazyck also chipped in 16 points, going 5-for-8 from the field and adding six free throws.

But, BC's foul shooting woes down the stretch hurt the squad, which finished the night 16-for-30 at the line, with 10 misses in the second half.

Shakima Wiggins and Hope Smith led BSC's (3-2) charge, recording 20 and 18 points, respectively. Both also logged double-doubles, as Wiggins pulled down 10 rebounds and Smith 14.

Whitney Smith knocked down BC's only three of the night to make the lead 35-29 early in the second half, but the visitors then used a 12-6 rally to square the game at 41-all.

The Big Blues didn't take their first lead of the night until 50-48 when Wiggins knocked down one of her three three-pointers on the evening, with less than seven minutes to play.

Tolliver came back with a hoop to square it at 50-50, but BSC closed the final 5:19 on a 14-3 run.

The Big Blues were able to outscore BC 18-7 in second-chance points thanks to 20 offensive rebounds, en route to a 50-37 edge overall in rebounding. Bluefield State also cashed in on the Lady Rams' turnovers, exchanging 16 BC giveaways for 24 points. While BSC turned the ball over 19 times on the night, Bluefield only tallied 10 points from those turnovers.

Bluefield finished the night 18-for-50 (36%) from the floor, compared to 19-for-58 (32.8%) for BSC.

The Lady Rams return to Appalachian Athletic Conference play Tuesday evening, hosting St. Andrews University at 5:30 p.m.
