Hurricanes Lose in Final Seconds at Clayton State

MORROW, Ga.– The 10th-ranked Georgia Southwestern State University women's basketball had its winning streak snapped at two games with a 64-62 loss at Clayton State University in The Loch on Wednesday night.

Jaleah Storr tied the game for GSW at 62-62 with 14 seconds remaining off a driving layup before the Lakers answered with their own layup down the left side of the lane on the other end with two seconds on the clock. GSW had a chance to send the game to overtime, but the shot at the buzzer was too hard off the glass.

Kayla Langley had a big game recording a team-high 20 points, while also grabbing eight rebounds. This is Langley's second 20-plus point game of the season. She was one of three Lady Hurricanes to finish in double figures in scoring, along with Ava Jones and Jolicia Williams.

GSW falls to 17-3 on the season and suffers their second loss in the Peach Belt Conference (9-2). However, the Lady Hurricanes maintain a three-game lead atop the standings after Wednesday's contests.
