Virginia Union University's Rori Cox scored a team-high 20 points while dishing out five assists as VUU defeated Barton College 75-58 on Wednesday, November 13, in Wilson, N.C.

VUU's Nevaeh Reaves added 19 points while teammate Taniyah Greene scored 12 points and hauled down nine rebounds in the win.

"This was a huge team victory against a relentless Barton team who defended their home court," said VUU Head Women's Basketball Coach Tierra Terry.  "The most impressive stat of the night was our 23 assists as a team. We keep emphasizing team basketball and that stat is a true example of playing as a team. Nevaeh Reaves showed up big with 4 three-pointers and 19 points, Rori Cox had a 20-point game, Tatiana Jones went 4-for-5 from the field, Taniyah Green had a solid 12 points and 9 rebounds, and Bruni Martinez snatched 8 rebounds. It was a great all-around effort. Now it is time to focus on our next opponent and take these things with us to the next game."

Virginia Union will now travel to Emory, Va., to face Emory & Henry College at 2:00 p.m. On Saturday, November 16.
