The University of West Georgia Wolves took on the Alabama-Huntsville Chargers in The Coliseum on Jan. 21 in men’s and women’s basketball, pulling away with a huge 62-38 win for the Women’s team and a 74-56 loss for the men’s team.

The women took to the court, starting off with a three-point score from Alabama-Huntsville, followed by a cold streak on both sides for the next several minutes.

Despite the early lead, the Chargers were not able to hold on to it, with the Wolves taking the lead in scoring and breaking away under the leadership of Whitley Mayberry.  The Wolves went into half time with an overwhelming 42-17 lead.  By the end of the 62-38 shoot-out, the Wolves had forced a total of 28 turnovers.

Mayberry was one of three players for the night to score in double-digits, marking down 16 points of her own, followed by Thomassian Wyatt with 11, and Charlease Williams putting in 10.

On the men’s side, the Wolves competed with artful three-point shooting and kept the score tight through most of the game.  A second-half offensive charge from UAH, however, allowed the Chargers to break away to take the win.

Jeremy Smith led the Wolves in scoring, doing 15 points of damage. He was followed by Vojin Svilar and Gavin Field, each taking 13 points.  The loss marks the men’s team’s fall to 9-9 for the season and 1-2 in conference play.
