GREENSBORO, N.C. – Three from the UNC Greensboro (UNCG) women's basketball team contributed double figures in a win over Southern Conference (SoCon) leading ETSU on Thursday, February 23 in Fleming Gym.

Akira Wiggins had 20 points for a game-high, while Faith Price added 11 points. Isys Grady had a double-double contributing 10 points and 12 rebounds.  
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
The two teams went scoreless for the first one minute and 30 seconds to start the frame, as Akira Wiggins made a layup in the paint at 8:30, 2-0.
