Emerson, Ga.–The Chattahoochee Tech women's squad, in a non-NJCAA contest, came back in the second half to down Combine Academy 76-75 in the first of two games Wednesday night at LakePoint.
The Lady Golden Eagles started slowly in falling behind 39-23 at halftime to Combine Academy, but the team (16-4) took the lead after a huge third-quarter comeback, 52-51 heading into the final quarter. Janelly Plummer (game-high 27 pts) had an offensive burst at the end of the third, scoring six points in the final minute to give CTC the lead.
Skylar Rossi had a big fourth quarter, hitting three three-pointers in the period and hitting three of five free throws in a sequence after she was fouled shooting a three and a Combine player was whistled for a technical foul. Jaylah Carr was fouled on a drive to the basket with 7.8 seconds left and the team down 75-74 and calmly hit both free throws to give CTC the one-point lead. A Combine two-point attempt at the buzzer missed.
Plummer also had nine rebounds, three assists, three steals and one block while going an impressive 12-of-13 from the free-throw line. Mariya Trimble was big with a double-double of 16 points and 12 rebounds. Rossi finished with 15 points, and Tymeshia Dozier had 12 points and two steals.
Both CTC teams will be back in action this Saturday at East Georgia State in Swainsboro, with the women's game tipping off at 2 p.m.
