FORT VALLEY, Ga. - Another career night for junior guard Shaniece Sheffield wasn't enough for GSW as the Lady Hurricanes dropped a 61-48 contest to the Albany State Golden Rams Sunday Afternoon, 61-48.

Sheffield continued her strong play leading the Blue and Gold with a career high 15 points. Sophomore Danisha Green tied her career high scoring 13 points on 6-10 shooting. 

After a back and forth first half, Albany State used a strong second half performance from April Thomas and a 58-36 rebounding advantage to pull away from Southwestern in the second.

Thomas finished the night with 18 points, 15 coming in the second half, as ASU improved to 1-2 on the season. Forward Keedemya Cooper snagged 14 rebounds for the Golden Rams.

Georgia Southwestern falls to 0-5 on the year and will make a quick turnaround as they return to action Tuesday night as they take on Truett-McConnell at 6 p.m. in the Storm Dome.
