By Rev. Justin C. Jackson

STAFFORD, Texas — The North American University Stallions delivered an instant classic Saturday afternoon, battling past Texas A&M-San Antonio for a dramatic 79-78 overtime victory. This RRAC showdown was everything fans could ask for and more, featuring high-octane play, clutch performances, and the continued dominance of Elisa "Lady E" Peralta, who solidified her case for Player of the Year honors with a triple-double masterpiece.

Lady E Shines Bright

Already a USCAA Player of the Week honoree, Peralta's stat line of 18 points, 12 rebounds, and 14 assists demonstrated why she is among the elite players not only in the United States Collegiate Athletic Association (USCAA) but also in the NAIA RRAC. With her combination of court vision, scoring ability, and leadership, "Lady E" is setting a new standard for excellence. The Stallions hope her continued brilliance catches the attention of the RRAC Player of the Year selection committee.

"Every time she steps on the court, she makes everyone around her better," said Coach N. Davis, the Stallions' head coach. "It's a privilege to coach a player of her caliber."

The Lady Stallions put on a team clinic in resilience and execution, with six players scoring in double figures:

• Maurdaisha "Day-Day" Powell: A steady presence, scoring 14 points and grabbing seven rebounds.
