ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. -- A huge third quarter by Flagler College lifted them over Georgia Southwestern women's basketball team by score of 64-58 during Saturday's Peach Belt Conference game inside Flagler Gymnasium. 

The Lady Hurricanes out played the Saints and held the lead for two quarters but Flagler never settled, they used a 10-3 run to tie the game and take the lead which they never let go of.

Tamecia Blue added a layup to push the Lady Hurricanes up before N'Mya Pierce scored the Saints first points three minutes into the game. After a short run by Flagler, GSW went into the second quarter with a 14-12 lead. 

A layup by Pierce tied the game at 16 with 9:10 left in the half but a Kya Cochran three extended the lead for GSW as they held on. GSW played great defense and they kept the lead throughout the whole second quarter, not letting the Saints get within four points.
