AMERICUS, Ga. – Senior Jasmine Herron's biggest scoring output in nearly three years helped lead the Armstrong Atlantic State women's basketball team to a 72-54 Peach Belt Conference victory over host Georgia Southwestern State on Wednesday evening. The men's team, meanwhile, hit 13 three-pointers en route to a 74-64 victory over the Hurricanes, completing the sweep.

The Lady Pirates (9-2, 3-1 PBC) broken open a close game with a 10-1 second-half run, erasing a one-point 33-32 lead by GSW and turning it into a 42-33 AASU lead, Herron scored 14 first-half points en route to her game-high 18, which were the most for the senior since she put up an AASU freshman-record 32 points against GCSU on February 16, 2005.

The Pirate men (9-2, 3-1 PBC) got two Corey Johnson three-pointers in the final minute of the first half to take a 37-30 lead at halftime en route to the 10-point win. Senior Jamaal Galloway came off the bench to hit five three-pointers - including a four-point play - for a team-high 16 points, while Johnson finished with 14 points.
