class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-golden-lions-rally-past-tigers\"><strong>Golden Lions Rally Past Tigers<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Down nine entering the fourth quarter, the Golden Lions erupted for 25 points in the final frame while holding Memphis to just 10. Guard Indiya Bowen led the charge with 29 points, nine rebounds, and three triples, while fellow guard Jailah Pelly added 23 points and a team-high 10 rebounds \u2014 giving UAPB a pair of double-doubles in the backcourt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was the first time Pine Bluff topped Memphis since 2007, when the Golden Lions pulled out a 99\u201397 overtime thriller. In their last meeting back in 2013, Memphis dominated 91\u201345 \u2014 a gap that underscores how big Monday\u2019s result truly was for UAPB.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-historic-context\"><strong>Historic Context<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>The win was more than just an upset \u2014 it was a program-defining moment for a young head coach looking to build a winner. Memphis entered after a 7\u201323 season in 2024\u201325 and was aiming to reclaim its footing in the American Athletic Conference. UAPB, meanwhile, was coming off a 3\u201325 campaign that included just one conference win in the SWAC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For second-year head coach Erika Leak, named Arkansas Coach of the Year after taking West Memphis High to the state finals in 2023, an opening-season win like this could spark the turnaround that the UAPB faithful are hoping for. A year into the rebuild, her Golden Lions showed the poise and fight of a team ready to rewrite its story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">?

UAPB\u2019s defense forced eight lead changes and five ties, while limiting Memphis to just 20% shooting in the final quarter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite Memphis holding a 45\u201330 edge in points in the paint, UAPB\u2019s backcourt speed flipped the script, generating 20 points off turnovers and 15 fast-break points. Forward Tyra Taylor and center Briontanay Marshall combined for 13 points and 15 rebounds inside, providing the interior balance needed to close it out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-setting-the-tone-for-hbcu-hoops\"><strong>Setting the Tone for HBCU Hoops<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>The win not only gives UAPB women\u2019s basketball a 1\u20130 start, but the HBCU program puts the region on notice with the big win. Against a Memphis team that had won 11 of its last 14 season openers, the Golden Lions\u2019 upset serves as both validation and motivation for a group looking to climb the SWAC ladder this winter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With three Memphis-area natives \u2014 Briah Hampton, Kristyna Boyd, and Tyra Taylor \u2014 on the roster, the victory carried extra weight for the Golden Lions, who now return home with both bragging rights and early-season momentum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"154018\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/hbcugameday.com\/2025\/11\/03\/hbcu-wbb-squad-opens-season-with-big-non-conference-win\/uapb-memphis-score\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/hbcugameday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/uapb-memphis-score.jpeg\" data-orig-size=\"1638,2048\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"uapb-memphis-score\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/hbcugameday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/uapb-memphis-score.jpeg?w=240\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/hbcugameday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/uapb-memphis-score.jpeg?w=819\" height=\"1024\" width=\"819\" src=\"https:\/\/hbcugameday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/uapb-memphis-score.jpeg?w=819\" alt=\"HBCU UAPB Memphis women\u2019s basketball\" class=\"wp-image-154018\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hbcugameday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/uapb-memphis-score.jpeg 1638w, https:\/\/hbcugameday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/uapb-memphis-score.jpeg?resize=240,300 240w, https:\/\/hbcugameday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/uapb-memphis-score.jpeg?resize=768,960 768w, https:\/\/hbcugameday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/uapb-memphis-score.jpeg?resize=819,1024 819w, https:\/\/hbcugameday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/uapb-memphis-score.jpeg?resize=1229,1536 1229w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Next Up: Razorbacks Await<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Next up for UAPB is a marquee in-state matchup against SEC powerhouse Arkansas, which suddenly carries even greater intrigue.
