Wallace State Women’s Basketball Opens Season with Dominant Win Over Northeast Mississippi
                     HANCEVILLE, Ala. — Wallace State Community College Women’s Basketball kicked off the
                        2024-25 season with a decisive 67-56 victory over Northeast Mississippi Community
                        College on Wednesday night at Bonner Arnold Coliseum.
                     
                     The Lady Lions set the tone early, outscoring the Tigers 20-9 in the first quarter.
                        Sophomore guard Kameron Sanders led Wallace State with a stellar performance, contributing
                        18 points, seven rebounds, and three assists.
                     
                     Sophomore forward Nylaa Fuller recorded a double-double with 13 points and 13 rebounds,
                        showcasing her dominance in the paint. Freshman guard Idaysia Mercer provided a spark
                        off the bench, tallying 13 points and two steals, while freshman guard Heather Tetro
                        added six points and six assists.
                     
                     Defensively, Wallace State forced 20 turnovers, converting them into critical points
                        to maintain their lead. Despite a strong effort from Northeast Mississippi’s Audria
                        Houston, who scored 22 points, Wallace State’s balanced offense and team play proved
                        too much for the home team.
