Rally Falls Short for Tornadoes against Tigers

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. - The Talladega College women's basketball team closed out its regular season Saturday afternoon with a 67-52 loss to Stillman College in a Southern States Athletic Conference game at Birthright Alumni Hall.

Stillman (16-12, 8-10) - which was celebrating Senior Day and Homecoming - jumped on the Tornadoes (5-20, 0-19) early, scoring the first seven points of the game before building a 24-5 lead by the end of the first quarter. The Tigers extended their lead to 41-17 by halftime before Talladega made a huge comeback in the second half.

The Tornadoes outscored Stillman 26-3 in the third quarter to close to within 44-43 going into the final period. The Tornadoes actually had a chance to take the lead, but missed a shot in the dying moments of the period before settling for a 1-point deficit headed into the final 10 minutes.

A basket by Makayla Transou put the Tornadoes ahead 47-46 with 8:21 to go, but Stillman scored the next seven points to go up 53-47 and Talladega never led again. The Tigers closed the game on a 14-1 run over the final 5:07 to pull away and seal the win in both teams' regular-seasonm finale.

Farrah Pearson led four Stillman players in double figures with 14 points and five rebounds. Jamesha King just missed a double-double with 13 points and nine rebounds, Laneja Warner added 10 points, three rebounds and three assists and Desiree Tyner chipped in 10 points, three rebounds and three blocks.

Transou was the high scorer for Talladega with a game-high 21 points, four rebounds and three steals. Amayla Sharif had 12 points, six rebounds and two steals and Je'Nya Wilder had 11 points, three rebounds and two blocked shots for the Tornadoes in the loss.

With the regular season now concluded, the Tornadoes now turn their attention to the SSAC Tournament, which gets under way Wednesday at the Multiplex at Cramton Bowl in Montgomery, Ala. Talladega is the No. 10 seed in the tournament and faces seventh-seeded Blue Mountain (15-12, 7-11) in the opening round Wednesday at 12:30 p.m. Tickets are only being sold online at https://ssacsports.com/tickets and if you can't attend in person, you can watch a stream of the game at https://ssacsports.tv.
