Tornadoes Fall in 2OT Thriller to MGA, 76-70

TALLADEGA, Ala. – The paying patrons of the Dr. Billy C. Hawkins Student Activity Center received their money's worth tonight but did not get the desired result. The Talladega College women's basketball team dropped a grueling game in double overtime to the Middle Georgia State University Lady Knights 76-70 Tuesday night in Southern States Athletic Conference action.

The Tornadoes stalled at 38 points for three minutes of game action, which allowed MGA to cut the lead to three points at Ashley McKee connected on a layup.
 
Dega battled to push the lead back to six following free throws with about two minutes left in the period, but the Lady Knights ended the quarter with momentum following free throws from Kassidy Broussard that cut the score to 43-40.
 
In the fourth, Broussard hit the shot to give MGA the team's first lead since there were three seconds remaining in the first at 45-43. Je'Nya Wilder quickly retied the game. Lashauna Coley seeming put the game away with a three late in the fourth to put the Lady Knights ahead 54-52. It wasn't until 40 seconds remaining when Makayla Transou hit a jumper to tie the game 54-54 and force overtime.
