Emerson, Ga.-The Chatt Tech women opened Sunday's home date with a dramatic 67-66 victory over Atlanta Metro after two last-second free throws by Sade Collins, thwarting a comeback by AMC in the final quarter.
The Lady Golden Eagles (19-7, 4-6) took a 62-53 lead with 6:30 to play after Janelly Plummer hit a three and a runner in the lane on back-to-back possessions. But Atlanta Metro went on a 7-0 run to pull within two points and eventually took a 65-64 lead under a minute.
With AMC leading 66-65 after two consecutive Lady Trailblazers missed free throws with 13.4 seconds left, Collins was fouled with 2.8 seconds remaining and went to the line, where she made the first and rattled the second home for the lead. A heave at the buzzer for AMC fell short.
Point guard Tymeshia Dozier led the way for CTC with 26 points on 10-of-22 shooting, 6-of-11 from three, six rebounds and two assists. Plummer finished with 24 points and six rebounds, and Mariya Trimble had a career-high 19 rebounds to go with 13 points and two steals. Jaida Oladeji pulled down 10 rebounds and had three assists.
The Lady Golden Eagles were down four, 20-16, after the first quarter but went into halftime tied at 37-37. They had a two-point lead, 52-50, heading into the fourth.
The team now sits in fourth place in the GCAA standings.
