NEWARK, N.J.- Jocelyn Taylor posted 19 points for a career-high as Southeast Missouri (1-4) dropped a 67-80 decision to North Alabama Saturday evening in game one of the New Jersey Institute of Technology Thanksgiving Classic. 
 
The Redhawks were held to a season-low one three-pointer against the Lions, shooting only .167 from behind the arc. 
 
 Kennedi Allen scored her first double-double of her career with 10 rebounds and 13 points. 
 
For the second-straight game, Southeast had four players in double-figures. Along with Taylor and Allen, Adrianna Murphy (11) and Tesia Thompson (11) scored extra points. 
 
At the start of the second quarter, the Redhawks trailed 17-18. In the second quarter, Southeast came out on a 6-0 run, only to be halted by a 20-0 run by UNA. 
 
North Alabama pulled away at this time, and the Redhawks could not catch back up. 
 
SEMO shot just 47.2 percent (25-of-53) from the field and turned the bal over a season-high 31 times. 
 
UNA finished with a .510 (26-of-51) field goal percentage and moved to 6-0 in the season.
