AMERICUS, Ga. - A late game Georgia Southwestern rally fell short Saturday evening as Georgia College prevailed, 72-65, in the Storm Dome.

Late in the second half, the Lady 'Canes made a final rally cutting a 16 pont deficit to four, 69-65, on a made layup from Shaniece Sheffield, with just under a minute remaining in the game.
