PEMBROKE – Using 34.7 percent shooting from the field, the visiting Flagler Saints took away a four-point victory from the UNC Pembroke women's basketball team, 50-46, in Peach Belt Conference action on Saturday afternoon inside the English E. Jones Center.

The loss was the third-straight for the Braves (6-13, 4-8 PBC) who closed out the month of January with a 4-5 mark, while the Saints (6-13, 3-9) collected its second win in the last three games.

Senior Kierra Haney led the Black and Gold with 17 points and pulled down a game-high 12 boards to notch her second double-double of the season, while sophomore guard Airico Williams also had double-figure rebounding with 10 and senior Jazmine Kemp drained 10 points for the Braves' offensive effort. Senior Avae' Hardy dished out a trio of assists as Kemp and junior Mary Robinson also tallied a pair each.

UNCP used six points from bench players and collected nine points off Flagler's 12 turnovers, as well as 18 points in the paint, but the Saints totaled 16 points off its nine offensive rebounds.

In the first half, Robinson used the first of her two treys to give UNCP the first points of the game and within the first eight minutes of the contest, the Braves carried a 16-6 lead. With 5:08 left to play before the half, Flagler picked up its second lead as Allie Mano knocked down a three-pointer, 19-18.

Using an 11-2 run, the Saints controlled a three-point run, but Eboné Stevens notched the first tied score, 23-23, with 1:37 left to play in the half. A pair of good free-throws by Robinson and a layup from Teosha Ray brought about the second tie, but another two points on free-throws gave the Saints the two-point advantage at the half.

Entering into the final 20 minutes, Flagler pushed open its lead to six points, but UNCP used a 6-0 run to come from behind for the one-point lead on Kemp's tip-in. A four minute scoring drought and an 8-3 run stretched UNCP's lead to four points, but the Saints turned the tide with a nine-point swing to control a 49-44 lead with 12 seconds remaining. Despite the jumper by Jasmine Huntley, UNCP was unable to overcome the last deficit.

Ray led Flagler with 13 points as Treva Mason collected eight points and eight rebounds.

UNCP will begin the month of February with a road trip to Aiken, S.C. to battle PBC East Division rival USC Aiken (13-8, 9-3) on Wednesday inside the Convocation Center with tipoff set for 5:30 p.m.
