Auburn women's basketball defeated Furman inside Neville Arena on Tuesday, 75-56. The Tigers improved to a 3-0 record on the young season.
Education Day on the Plains is always a great day to see thousands of school children get to come root on the Tigers at home. A total of 7,113 showed up for Auburn today, setting a home non-conference record for attendance for the program.
“That was an amazing crowd,” Auburn head coach Larry Vickers stated. “I joked on radio that we’re going to have to practice with the speakers on next year because the team couldn’t hear my calls. We appreciate Lee County School District for working with us.”
Auburn was led by Phoenix Stotijn with her 20 points in an impressive shooting performance from the floor, shooting seven
of nine. Ja'Mia Harris and Zaniyah Williams both scored eight points. The Tigers completely controlled the boards, 50-27 in the rebounding category.
The bench play of Auburn was a major value in the scoring with the bench totaling 27 points. Auburn improves to 3-0 in year two of Vickers as he continues to build up this program.
Auburn will now set to prepare to take on Texas Tech on Friday at 6 p.m. CT on the road, the first of the season for the Tigers. The game will be broadcast on ESPN+.
