MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga. - The women's basketball
team at Georgia College & State University (16-7, 11-5 PBC)
weathered both the storm outside and inside the Centennial Center
tonight (Feb. 18) against Georgia Southwestern State University
(7-18, 2-16) upending the Hurricanes 51-44 on "Senior Night."
The Bobcats were led by junior forward, Antoinette Reames
(Orlando, Fla.) who posted her fourth double-double of the
season with 16 points and 11 boards, eight of which were defensive.
This marks the second straight game where Reames has posted a
double-double. The 16 points also ties her season high. Reames also
recorded two blocks which moves her to 62 on the season and in her
career at Georgia College. Reames jumps past Cassie
Miliner (2004-2008) into eighth place on the all-time
block list.
Snellville native Mandi Dudish
contributed 12 points and grabbed six rebounds. Shandrea Moore (Ft.
Lauderdale, Fla.) aided her fellow teammates giving out
seven assists.
A key statistic tonight for the Bobcats was their ability to
make free-throws in the second half as they shot .700 (7-10). Also,
in the second half the Bobcats were able to shut down Nadirah
Gardner who scored 10 points in the first half, but only finished
the game with 12.
Gardner was aided by Brandi Burris and Clarissa Corbett who each
scored eight points.
"Senior Night" took place before the game as Tonisha Wimbish
(Ellenwood, Ga.), Tiauna Brantley
(Woodstock, Ga.) and Emily Bixler
(Lawrenceville, Ga.) were all presented with plaques and
flowers.
Georgia College remains at the third slot in the PBC standings
behind first place Francis Marion University (23-1, 16-1) and
Clayton State University (20-4, 14-3).
The Bobcats are back to the courts Saturday, Feb. 21 for
Homecoming as they face the Patriots of Francis Marion at 2 p.m.
