NEW ORLEANS – The Tulane University women's basketball team (5-3) picked up its first league win in convincing fashion Saturday night, as it defeated the University of Memphis, 80-44, at Avron B. Fogelman Arena in the Devlin Fieldhouse.

Junior guard Dynah Jones led the Green Wave with a game-high 19 points. She connected on 8-of-12 from the field, including 3-of-4 from beyond the arc. Her 19 points and three field goals from long range were both season bests.

The Green Wave also had totaled 13 steals and forced Memphis into 22 turnovers.
Tulane jumped out to an early lead and never looked back, as it opened a 39-18 lead at the break. The Green Wave shot 51.4 percent from the field and connected on 18-of-35 shots.
The Green Wave also was impressive on the defensive front, as they held Memphis to just 28.6 percent shooting (8-of-26). Tulane also held Memphis to single digit scoring in the first and second quarters.
Tulane ended any chance of a Memphis comeback in the third quarter as it outscored the Tigers by a 13-7 count over a four minute stretch to start the third quarter to open up a 25-point advantage. By the end of the frame, Tulane opened up a 30-point lead.
