Tornadoes Fall after Late Life Rally

TALLADEGA, Ala. – Despite having a double-digit lead in the fourth quarter, the Talladega College women's basketball team took a tough loss Saturday afternoon at home to Southern States Athletic Conference opponent Life University, 71-70.

The Tornadoes (4-3, 0-2 SSAC) held a 13-point lead after a layup from Je'Nya Wilder with 8:36 left in the game to make the score 62-49. Following that bucket, the Running Eagles put together a 21-7 to take a 70-69 lead capped by a three from Santavia Grant at the 2:03 mark. Wilder hit a free throw to tie the game 70-70 with 1:19 to go, but Fapou Semebene drained a free throw of her own with two seconds left to give Life the 71-70 road win.

Talladega controlled the matchup for most of the game as the Tornadoes led 26-10 after the first quarter and used a 14-13 edge in the second to take a 40-23 advantage to the half. In the third, Life started to get the offense moving, outscored Dega 24-16 in the quarter, and finished the game by outscoring Talladega 24-14 in the fourth to secure victory.

The shorthanded Dega squad had four players reach double figures, led by 19 points, four rebounds, and two steals from Shamya Loman. Wilder added 17 points, five rebounds, three assists, and three steals, and both Bryanna Williams and Katerina Patkova scored 11 points. Brooklynn Tate pulled down a team-leading eight rebounds and scored six points. 

As a team, the Tornadoes shot 52.2 percent (24-of-46) from the field, 60 percent (6-of-10) from three, and 76.2 percent (16-of-21) at the free throw line. 

Both teams pulled 27 rebounds and scored 14 points each in second-chance opportunities. Life University held an edge in points in the paint, 46-26; bench points, 29-11; and points off turnovers, 26-24.

Four players scored double-digits for the Running Eagles as Maikya Simmons and Semebene scored 16 points, Kierra York added 12 points, and Sienna Bailey scored 10. 

Life shot 53.3 percent (32-of-60) overall, 10 percent (1-of-10) from three and 75.0 percent (6-of-8) in free throws.

Dega has two more games on the road before the holiday break, starting with a trip to Blue Mountain, Mississippi, to face the Blue Mountain Christian University Lady Toppers on Dec. 10 at 5:30 p.m. The trip concludes on Dec. 12 against William Carey University in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, with tip-off scheduled for noon.
