Higginbotham Earns First Win as UMO Head Coach in 76-66 Victory over Livingstone

MOUNT OLIVE – The University of Mount Olive women's basketball team defeated Livingstone 76-66 in their home opener Wednesday, giving Joey Higginbotham his first win as head coach.

The Trojans had several standout performances, with every starter scoring in double figures. Savannah McAfee led the way with a 15-point, 18-rebound double-double and added four steals. Jada Priebe also recorded a double-double, finishing with 14 points and 13 rebounds.

Kayla Jackson, known for her shooting, hit four three-pointers, totaling 14 points and three assists. With just over three minutes remaining in the game, Jackson sank a deep three-pointer as the shot clock was winding down, igniting the crowd and leaving both fans and teammates in awe.

The game featured seven lead changes and was competitive throughout. However, the Trojans surged in the fourth quarter, using a 23-11 run to pull away for the win. Priebe and Jackson sparked the momentum with key threes, and McAfee's performance in the final period—nine points, one steal, and four rebounds—proved crucial in securing the victory.

UMO will next play in the 60th Annual Pickle Classic on Saturday at 12 p.m. in Kornegay Arena against Bluefield.
