Tulane University’s women’s basketball team secured a 69-54 win over Memphis on Thursday night at Avron B. Fogelman Arena in the Devlin Fieldhouse.

With this result, Tulane improved its record to 10-16 overall and 5-9 in American Athletic Conference play, while Memphis dropped to 8-18 overall and 2-11 in conference games.
Freshman Shiloh Kimpson made her first career start for Tulane and delivered a standout performance with 12 points, six rebounds, and 10 assists—setting new personal bests in all three categories. Her contributions helped Tulane maintain control throughout the game.
Tulane shot 42.1 percent from the field compared to Memphis’ 37.9 percent. The Green Wave made five three-pointers while limiting Memphis to two.
