TYNDALL AIR FORCE BASE, Fla. --  The Tyndall Lady Tigers improved their record to 6-0 for the season as they defeated the Lady Eagles of Eglin Air Force Base by a score of 88-66 in Southeastern Military Athletic Conference action this past Saturday. 

The two squads traded baskets throughout the first half as Eglin connected on four three-point baskets to combat Lady Tigers Tiffanie Guthrie's 16 first-half points. Tyndall took a slim two point lead, 36-34, into the intermission. In the second half, the Lady Tigers steadily took control of the contest as they wore down the smaller Eglin squad and scored numerous points in transition. The Lady Tigers lead increased to as many as 26 points before they went into their "delay game". 

Guthrie led the Lady Tigers in double figure scoring with a game high 30 points, followed by Richere Harrison's 17. Monica Mason and Mariela Miles added 16 points each. Guthrie and Sandra Williams led the team in rebounding with 14 and 10 respectively. Guthrie also added six steals. Demeika McCelendon paced Eglin in scoring with 17 points. 

The Lady Tigers take their unblemished record into the holiday break. They will return to the hardwood on Jan. 5, as they travel to Ft. Benning to face the Lady Bandits.
