Emerson, Ga.-The Lady Golden Eagles fell 66-58 to East Georgia State but will host a first-round game in the GCAA tournament on Tuesday night.
Chattahoochee Tech (20-10, 5-9) overcame a 19-3 deficit to start the game by storming back to catch East Georgia State (19-7, 10-4) at 32-32 late in the first half. CTC led 36-35 at halftime.
Chatt Tech fought back from another second-half deficit to pull within two points, 60-58, after a Jaylah Carr basket with under a minute remaining. After regaining possession, Mariya Trimble's potential game-tying shot in the lane rimmed out, and the Lady Bobcats were able to hold on from there.
Trimble recorded her 16th double-double this season, scoring 18 points with 15 rebounds and three steals. Tymeshia Dozier added 16 points on 4-of-10 three-point shooting to go with four assists and three steals.
Allayah Muhammad scored her second-highest point total of the season, 13 points, hitting three of eight three-pointers. Carr had nine points and four steals.
The team was without its leading scorer Janelly Plummer, who missed the game with an injury.
The women's team is set to host Central Georgia Tech as the fourth seed in the GCAA tourney, with the game being held at the Smyrna Community Center on Tuesday night at 7 p.m. The Lady Golden Eagles are 2-0 against CGTC this season, winning 78-71 on Feb. 1 in Macon and 71-65 at home at LakePoint on Feb. 20.
