Lady Pirates Dominate Miami Dade Behind Hutchinson’s Stellar Performance

The Pensacola State Lady Pirates delivered a commanding performance, never trailing after taking the lead in the first quarter and cruising to victory over Miami Dade. The win was fueled by a combination of offensive firepower, relentless rebounding, and stifling defense.

Tamya Hutchinson led the charge with a near-flawless outing, pouring in 24 points, grabbing nine rebounds, and knocking down 10 of 15 free throws while shooting 2-for-4 from beyond the arc. In an impressive display of poise and control, Hutchinson played all 40 minutes without committing a single turnover.

Supporting her effort was Amari Johnson, who recorded a strong double-double with 13 points and 12 rebounds, while also adding three steals to spark the defensive effort. Cassidy Gladney chipped in 17 points and dished out five assists, providing a steady presence in the backcourt.

The Lady Pirates dominated the glass, pulling down 43 total rebounds, including 13 on the offensive end, and forced 23 turnovers to keep Miami Dade on its heels. Defensively, Pensacola State locked down the perimeter, holding Miami Dade to just 22% from three-point range (5-for-22).
