After a clash of Bahamian women in a NCAA Division One basketball regular season game on Saturday, Ole Miss Rebels remained undefeated yesterday while the Mississippi Valley State Devilettes finally got into the win column.

The Rebels, coached for the third year by Grand Bahamian Yolett McPhee-McCuin and including senior guard Valerie Nesbitt, won Saturday’s match-up 86-46 over Annya Moss and Mississippi Valley.

Last night, the Running Rebels extended their record to 5-0 with an 89-65 rout over Jackson State as Nesbitt came off the bench and despite getting into foul trouble, had 10 points, five assists and one rebound in just 11 minutes on the court.

Meanwhile, Mississippi Valley bounced back and held on for a slim 53-51 victory over University of Louisiana at Munroe Warhawks for their first win in three games played so far.

Moss, in 15 minutes off the bench, contributed just two points, a pair of three throws, while grabbing a pair of rebounds with an assist and a blocked shot. She also had a personal foul and turned the ball over twice.

In Saturday’s game, the 5-foot, 8-inch Nesbitt came off the bench and in 17 minutes, had five points, three assists and two rebounds. She was 2-for-6 from the field and 1-for-1 from the foul line.

Moss, a 5-8 guard in her junior year, played 28 minutes for Mississippi off the bench as well, scoring nine points. She was 3-for-12 from the field, 1-for-7 from the three-point line and 2-for-2 from the foul line.

She also had two rebounds, one assist and a block, while turning the ball over three times and committing two personal fouls.

McPhee-McCuin, Nesbitt and Ole Miss are scheduled to be back in action on Saturday when they take on George Mason, while Moss and Mississippi Valley will play on Sunday against Northwestern State.
