TUSCALOOSA, Ala. - The Vanderbilt women’s basketball team snapped a two-game losing streak on Sunday, January 27, at Alabama, defeating the Crimson Tide, 67-58. The Commodores improved to 14-6, 4-3 in SEC play, while the Tide fell to 12-8, 2-5 in league play. Tiffany Clarke matched her career high with 27 points, while also grabbing 15 rebounds for her seventh double-double of the season and third in a row. Heather Bowe also contributed a double-double with 13 points and 13 rebounds. For Alabama, Dia-sha Simmons led the way with 15 points. Shafontaye Myers added 13, while Jasmine Robinson contributed nine and Meghan Perkins added six, and pulled down a team-best nine rebounds. “I really liked how our kids responded,” Vanderbilt Head Coach Melanie Balcomb said. “(Alabama) is a team that comes at you for 40 minutes and you have to be tough. When Tiffany Clarke plays two halves, we’re going to be a good team.” Clarke knew Vanderbilt was in for a challenge facing the Tide. “We needed this,” Clarke said. “They play really good defense and it was a hard-fought game.”It took over two minutes for someone to get on the scoreboard. Alabama missed its first five field goals before Perkins hit a layup two minutes and 13 seconds in. The Commodores missed their first four shots before Foggie connected from three at the 17:23 mark of the first half. Things picked up for the Commodores, as they hit their next four field goals to take an 11-7 lead with 13:44 to play. Alabama then answered with a pair of back-to-back threes to take a 13-11 lead. Two free throws by Clarke tied it at 13 midway through the first half. Trailing 21-20 with 6:31 until the break, Vanderbilt used an 8-0 run from Tiffany Clarke to open up a 28-21 lead with just over four minutes remaining the period. The senior hit two free throws, got back-to-back layups and hit another pair from the line. The Tide responded and took advantage of five straight Vanderbilt turnovers to take a 29-28 lead. Foggie halted the run with a jumper for the eighth lead change of the half, putting the Commodores on top, 30-29. Clarke followed with a basket and a free throw to provide the 33-29 halftime margin. Alabama would not go away, and retook the lead with just over 13 minutes left, making it 42-40 on a jumper by Perkins. Clarke responded to tie it back up at 42, the 10th tie of the ballgame. Bowe started to give the Commodores a little breathing room, scoring five straight points to give Vanderbilt a 54-48 lead. Alabama would get no closer than four. Clarke scored the next three to make it 58-50, giving Vanderbilt its largest lead of the game. Alabama could get no closer than seven points down the stretch and Vanderbilt held on for a 67-58 victory.

NASHVILLE - Melanie Balcomb wanted her Vanderbilt Commodores to push the ball inside offensively and focus on defending Taber Spani and Meighan Simmons of Tennessee. They didn’t follow the game plan well at all. The Commodores outscored No. 9 Tennessee 38-32 in the paint and even grabbed 21 offensive rebounds, but they couldn’t keep up with the Lady Vols’ top scorers Thursday night in losing 83-75. “Believe it or not, the game plan in the first half was the same as it was in the second half,” Balcomb said. “We just didn’t execute the game plan. Get the ball inside, get the ball to the rim. It all worked in the second half. The first half, we took too many outside shots, weren’t aggressive and didn’t attack enough.” That left Vanderbilt trailing 41-29 at halftime. The Commodores scored the first 12 points of the second half to tie up Tennessee at 41. But that was as close as they would get as the Lady Vols responded by scoring 11 of the next 13 points before hitting 14 of their final 15 free throws in the final 3:49 to seal the win. “Just can’t celebrate when we make a run,” Vanderbilt junior guard Christina Foggie said. Foggie led Vandy with 22 points before foul-ing out in the final minute, Tiffany Clarke had 19 and Kady Schrann 14. Spani scored a career-high 24 points and Simmons added 23 as Tennessee (16-3, 7-0) won its ninth straight. The Lady Vols got a measure of payback for losing in Memorial Gym a year ago, their last SEC loss. “Well, I mean honestly you just want to come in and play your best against a great SEC team,” Spani said. “Obviously, this is a great rivalry game. But we also have a lot of respect for Vanderbilt and what they’re capable of doing and it’s always a great environment.”With No. 5 Kentucky losing to No. 18 South Carolina earlier in the night, Tennessee is the Southeastern Conference’s last undefeated team in league play. Simmons said that’s exactly where the Lady Vols expected to be. Coach Holly Warlick cautioned it’s still very early this season. “But yeah, it’s great to be undefeated and be on top of the SEC,” Warlick said. “But ... we’re not satisfied absolutely.” The Lady Vols have won 11 straight SEC games dating back to the loss here last season. Bashaara Graves also had 16 points for Tennessee. Vanderbilt (13-6, 3-3) lost for the first time at home this season and has lost three of four overall. The Commodores played without 6-foot-4 sophomore Clair Watkins, who suffered a knee injury in practice Wednesday. They still pulled down 21 offensive rebounds despite being outrebounded 46-43. The Commodores managed to tie the score twice, the second time at 41 after scoring the first 12 points of the second half. The Lady Vols answered with an 11-2 spurt capped by a drive by Simmons with 12:45 to go, and Vanderbilt couldn’t get closer than five the rest of the way.

COLLEGE STATION, Texas - Vanderbilt dropped a 60-52 decision to No. 16/16 Texas A&M on Thursday in its first SEC trip to College Station. The Commodores fell to 14-7, 4-4 in SEC play, while the Aggies improved to 17-5, 7-1 in league action. Christina Foggie led the way for Vanderbilt, scoring 17 points. Tiffany Clarke added 14 points and nine rebounds, while Heather Bowe contributed 10 points. Jasmine Lister scored eight points while grabbing six rebounds and dishing out 10 assists. Texas A&M was led by 20 from Courtney Walker, who had just six at the half. Kelsey Bone and Kristi Bellock each had eight points and nine rebounds for the Aggies. Vanderbilt Head Coach Melanie Balcomb was pleased with her team’s efforts, especially over the first 30 minutes. “I liked the way we started,” Balcomb explained. “We had a great game plan and they executed it for about 30 minutes. When it got tight, we all started doing what was comfortable. They turned up their defense and took our individual strengths away.” Balcomb was also pleased with her team’s defensive effort, especially on Bone, who entered the game as the SEC’s leading scorer. “We did a great job, defensively,” Balcomb said. “I couldn’t ask for much more. I felt really good about our focus. I think the problem was on offense.” Vanderbilt got off to a strong start defensively, holding A&M off the scoreboard over the first 4:23 of the game. They also forced Bone, who led the SEC in field goal percentage entering the game, to miss her first three attempts from the floor. She didn’t score until there was 3:02 left in the first half and had just two points and two rebounds at the break. Texas A&M scored the first four points of the second half to take its first lead, 28-27, just 88 seconds into the frame. Clarke responded with a layup to put Vanderbilt back on top and that began a series of ties and lead changes. Midway through the second half, a pair of Clarke free throws put Vanderbilt up, 39-38, before A&M responded with a 10-0 run to take a 48-39 lead. A Foggie jumper halted the run with just under nine minutes to play. Vanderbilt rallied to close the gap to three on a couple of occasions. The first was at 48-45 on a free throw by Clarke with 5:55 to play and the second was on a layup by Foggie to make it 50-47 with 4:48 left. The Aggies responded with a 10-0 run to take their biggest lead of the game, 60-47, with just over 90 seconds to play. Vanderbilt went nearly three minutes without a point before a Lister three made it 60-50 with 1:17 to play. After shooting 44.4% in the first half, Vanderbilt was just 30.0% in the second to shoot 36.8% for the game. Texas A&M was the opposite, improving from 35.3% to 71.4% in the second half for a total percentage of 49.1%.
