The Grambling State women’s basketball team set a new record for margin of victory when they routed the College of Biblical Studies 159-18 on Tuesday.

The 141-point win shattered the previous record for margin of victory when Savannah State beat Wesleyan (Georgia) 155-26 in 2018.

Grambling raced out to a 34-0 lead and had eight players score in double figures, led by Arianna Mosley, who finished with 27 points. All 13 Tigers who appeared in the game scored at least six points.

The Ambassadors did not score until there was 2:14 left in the first quarter and trailed 82-10 at halftime.

Grambling shot 59% from the field and had 39 steals, while the Ambassadors committed 57 turnovers and shot just 18.6%.

The defeat dropped the College of Biblical Studies to 0-7, which includes a 94-22 loss to Xavier of Louisiana on Nov. 4.

The College of Biblical Studies, located in Houston, is in its first year of playing basketball and competes in the Southwest Region of the Division II National Christian College Athletic Association.
