CTC Women Fall Just Short In Rally Against GA Highlands

Emerson, Ga.–Despite a huge rally, the Chattahoochee Tech women fell just short in a 61-58 defeat to Georgia Highlands at LakePoint.
The Lady Golden Eagles (13-3, 0-2 GCAA) staged a furious comeback from a 49-37 deficit after the third quarter to take a 53-52 lead late in the game. CTC tied the game at 55-55 after a two-point jumper from Skylar Rossi with 34 seconds to play, but GHC (8-12, 3-1) answered back with a D'Andra Pringle layup and kept the lead from there.

A Tymeshia Dozier three-pointer with five seconds to go brought CTC to within 60-58, but after Pringle split a pair of free throws with two seconds remaining, Dozier's long heave after the made foul shot came after the buzzer.

Janelly Plummer had a game-high 20 points to go with four rebounds, three assists and three steals. Dozier had 16 points and three steals, while Rossi contributed 11 points and four rebounds.

Starters Mariya Trimble and Jaida Olodeji each chipped in five points.

The Golden Eagles are back in action this Sunday, Jan. 22, hosting home games at Reinhardt University against conference foe South Georgia State. The women tip off at 2:30 p.m., and the men follow at 4:30.
