AMERICUS, Ga. -- The Georgia Southwestern State University women's basketball team fell 75-66 to Flagler College on Play4Kay night Wednesday at the Storm Dome.

Mariya Trimble and Amanda Melosky both scored 16 points to lead the Lady Canes (7-16, 4-15 PBC).

The Saints (16-7, 14-5 PBC) got 19 points from Bri Roberts to go along with 18 points and 15 rebounds from Tabitha Odabe.

How It Happened: Flagler shot 52.4 percent (11-of-21) from the field in the first quarter on the way to scoring 27 points to build a nine-point lead after the opening frame. Mariya Trimble and Shanya Jones both poured in six points, but the Lady Canes only shot 33.3 percent (7-of-21) and got outrebounded 12-9.

GSW was able to turn it around in the second quarter and make it a five-point game at the half. Down 10 points with 7:20 to go in the quarter, the Lady Canes went on a 12-3 run to make it 36-35 after Amanda Melosky knocked down a jumper with 2:29 left. The Saints scored 10 points down the stretch to make it 46-41 as the two teams went to the locker room.
