MONTGOMERY, Ala. -  Brewton-Parker Christian University Lady Barons fell behind early and could not recover from a difficult shooting night, dropping a 70-46 decision to Faulkner University Eagles (Ala.) on Thursday evening at Tine Davis Gymnasium.
 

The Barons struggled early in the game, missing shots. Scoring only eight points in the opening quarter and following it up with five in the second, the Lady Barons found themselves in a massive deficit going into the half, down 21 points.
 

Brewton-Parker struggled to find rhythm from the field throughout the night, finishing 14 of 71 overall (19.7 percent) and 5 of 39 (12.8 percent) from 3-point range. Despite the shooting woes, the Barons continued to battle on the glass and stayed active defensively, collecting 51 rebounds, including 19 on the offensive end, along with eight steals and two blocks. The effort on the boards helped Brewton-Parker generate second-chance opportunities, even as shots continued to rim out.
 

Jasmine Leynard led the way for Brewton-Parker with a team-high 14 points. She added five rebounds and three steals, providing a steady presence on both ends and sparking the Barons' most productive stretch in the fourth quarter, when the offense finally gained some traction with 22 points.
 

Head Coach Steve Edwards reflected on the loss, saying, "Our group played hard today, but we couldn't make a basket. We were outclassed by a really talented Faulkner group. We will learn, and we will get better."
 

Looking ahead, the Lady Barons will prepare for another conference game on January 17, 2026, against the University of Mobile (Ala.). Rams. The Lady Baorns will look to get back into the win column and gain more traction in conference play, building on their 3-3 conference record and 4-13 overall.
