The Alabama women's basketball team got a scare from the Stetson Hatters inside Coleman Coliseum on Monday afternoon, but emerged victorious by nine points in an 82-73 victory. The Crimson Tide (1-0) had six players score in double figures.

Guard Jessica Timmons, who missed all of last season while recovering from a knee injury she suffered in the spring of 2024, led Alabama with 21 points in her regular season return. A 20-11 fourth quarter made the difference for the Crimson Tide in a game where it led by just one point at halftime. Senior Karly Weathers had seven rebounds and a late three-point basket that effectively ended the game.

"Credit to our kids for making a few plays down the stretch," head coach Kristy Curry said during the postgame press conference. "We showed some grit the last few minutes defensively against a really good Stetson team. They do a really good job of running their offense and executing."

Crimson Tide Quote of the Day:

“Every week when we play a different team they’re going to say ‘This is going to be the first test for Alabama.’ And then we go out and we play well, we execute well and we end up winning the games. And then after the game, they’re like, ‘Oh they still haven’t played somebody.'”
Alabama RB Damien Harris in 2018
