MARSHALL, Texas - The Belhaven Women's Basketball team dropped a tough 64-58 decision to East Texas Baptist on Tuesday night in Marshall, Texas.

After falling behind 31-20 at halftime, Belhaven responded with a strong second half to get within five on several occasions over the final 20 minutes. However, the Blazers could not draw any closer as the Tigers held on for the six-point victory.

Despite the loss, Ebony Gayden led the Green and Gold with a double-double, pouring in a team-high 17 points and a career-high 20 rebounds. Gayden's 20 boards ties four former Blazers as the second-most in a single game in Belhaven history. Katelyn Coleman also finished in double figures with a season-high 11 points on 5-of-10 from the floor.

The Blazers will return to Rugg Arena on December 7th for a home matchup against Sewanee. Tipoff against the Tigers is set for 1:00 PM.
