NEW ORLEANS – Junior Harlyn Wyatt posted a double-double with 17 points and 11 rebounds and senior Kolby Morgan added 23 points as the Green Wave women's basketball team defeated South Alabama 65-51 in an exhibition game at Avron B. Fogelman Arena in the Devlin Fieldhouse on Sunday night.
The contest was held as a charity event with all proceeds from ticket sales going to the American Red Cross to aid in hurricane relief efforts.
Â
The exhibition was Tulane's final warmup of the year, and regular-season action is set to begin on Friday at Maine.
Â
The Green Wave were ahead by 10 points early in the game, leading 19-9. But the Jaguars fought back to tie things up at 29-29 in the third quarter. From there, Tulane exploded with a 12-0 run that included 8 points from Morgan and 4 from Wyatt.
Â
South Alabama inched within 6 points in the fourth quarter, but Tulane scored the next four points to pull away for good. Tulane never trailed in the game and led for all but 56 seconds.
Â
Besides Morgan's 23 points and Wyatt's 17 – which would be a career high if the contest counted – Tulane got 9 points from Kaila Manuirirangi and 5 from Kaila Anderson. Manuirirangi topped the team with five assists, Wyatt led Tulane with three blocks and Morgan had three steals.
Â
Tulane put up strong offensive numbers in the first quarter, making eight of its 13 shot attempts and scoring 19 points. Wyatt was a perfect 4 of 4 from the field in the quarter and led Tulane with 8 points, and Manuirirangi picked up three of her five assists in the quarter as the Green Wave led 19-13 after 10 minutes.
Â
The regular season begins for the Green Wave on Friday with the team traveling to Maine to take on the host Black Bears in the first contest of a two-game tournament. Tipoff in Maine is set for 5 p.m. central.
