MONTGOMERY, Ala. - Amber Skidgel notched a game high 17 points as the No. 17 University of North Georgia women's basketball team defeated Auburn-Montgomery Sunday afternoon, 74-47.

The Warhawks led for just 12 seconds after Jordan Brewster hit a three pointer to put AUM up, 3-2, before Julianne Sutton hit a layup to retake the lead for UNG. The Nighthawks outscored AUM, 24-10, in the first quarter to take a firm grasp on the game and continued to extend the lead throughout the game until hitting the 27 point margin just seconds before the final horn.
