Exhibition: Uptempo SSU women slip past Armstrong 96-84

SAVANNAH, Georgia -- It should be another good season for women’s college basketball in Savannah.

Savannah State and Armstrong put on an offensive show for an enthusiastic crowd at Tiger Arena before the deeper Tigers pulled away for a 96-84 victory in a crosstown exhibition game dubbed “Battle by the Marsh.”

Both teams open their seasons for real on Nov. 14. SSU will host Columbia College. ASU travels to Florida to play Saint Leo in the Saint Leo Classic.

“This was a good game for us just to get a different look against a different opponent,” said Tigers coach Cedric Baker, whose squad won 19 games last season before falling in the semifinals of the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference tournament.
