Women's basketball (6-2) extended their winning streak to three games Sunday afternoon in the Auburn Arena after knocking off the Samford Bulldogs 64-41 in a game that they never trailed.
Samford cut Auburn's second half lead to five at 34-29, but strong defense once again led to an offensive explosion for the Tigers, who then went on a 21-5 run to put the game out of reach.
The Tigers forced Samford into 27 turnovers, highlighted by Hasina Muhammad 's season-high seven steals. Muhammad also scored seven points and pulled down four rebounds to go along with four blocks.
Freshman forward, Jazmine Jones, led the charge for Auburn with a career-high 12 points on 5-of-5 shooting.
Tra'Cee Tanner added 10 points for the Tigers, and Katie Frerking had a team-high seven rebounds.
Auburn is now 4-0 in games where the team forces 25 or more turnovers.
Women's basketball will finish up their non-conference schedule Wednesday at 5:30 p.m. against Savannah State in the first game of a basketball double header. The men's basketball team will then take on the Winthrop Eagles at 8 p.m.
