The No. 22 Alabama women's basketball team took the court in Coleman Coliseum Thursday night for the second time in as many days and picked up a second straight win, this time over Alcorn State, 88-59.

"Definitely pleased with having two back-to-back days to have an opportunity to grow and learn, and to be able to finish off today well," Alabama head coach Kristy Curry said after the game. "I’m pleased with the fourth (quarter) when we had our bench in and were able to extend the lead – that certainly was a real positive to win the fourth. There are a lot of little things this time of year that we can all improve, there are some things we’re pleased with and some things that we’re not pleased with. It just takes each and every one of us to have some self-awareness on how we can continue to learn from the last two days and come out tomorrow and have a great day of preparation for Louisiana-Monroe.” 

Essence Cody led Alabama (5-0) with 18 points, while shooting 50 percent (6-for-12) from the free-throw line. Aaliyah Nye (17), Eris Lester (15) and Sarah Ashlee Barker (14) all finished in double figures. Next up, the Crimson Tide will travel to UL Monroe on Sunday for a 2 p.m. tip.
