Kyarrah Grant (Navajo/Choctaw) scored 10 points to help lead the Nova Southeastern University women’s basketball team past the University of Tampa, 67-58, on Jan. 22 in Tampa. Grant also had one rebound, two assists and a game-high three steals as the Sharks pulled off the upset against the 18th-ranked team in NCAA Division II.
