Shaw’s women leaned on poise, pressure defense, and timely scoring to secure a 66–58 victory over Livingstone. The Bears controlled the tempo down the stretch, answering every Livingstone push with composed offensive execution.
Guard Ashara Spruill set the tone in the second half, repeatedly attacking the lane and battling through contact. Her aggressive drives forced defensive rotations and opened space for teammates, while her hustle on loose balls underscored Shaw’s physical edge. Leasia Matthews added another spark, slicing into the paint and finishing through traffic to help the Bears maintain separation late.
Defensively, Shaw disrupted Livingstone’s rhythm with active hands and strong rebounding, limiting second-chance opportunities and closing out possessions. The balanced effort allowed the Bears to hold on comfortably in the final minutes and protect their home court.
