JACKSON, Miss.| Miya Crump shines once again leading the JSU offense with 19 points while tacking on six rebounds and one steal as the Jackson State women's basketball team hit 8-of-20 attempts from beyond the arc, shooting 40 percent from deep in a 71-63 victory over the Grambling State at home Saturday afternoon.

The Tigers had two other players score in double figures as Ti'lan Boler tacked on 14 points and six rebounds and Andriana Avent chipped in as well with 10 points from the bench.

The Jackson State offense was very productive from beyond the arc, making eight threes on 20 attempts. Avent was the most prolific shooter for the Tigers, draining three treys in the contest.

Jackson State did a great job disrupting Grambling shots in the contest, coming away with nine blocks. Angel Jackson's six rejections led the way individually for the Tigers.
