59: FURIOUS RALLY LIFTS GC TO USA SOUTH QUARTERFINAL WIN
Greensboro, N.C. -- To use
a boxing analogy, Shenandoah University had Greensboro College on the canvas
on Tuesday at Hanes Gym. The adage goes you have to knock out a champion,
but the Hornets let The Pride up.
First-seeded Greensboro College,
regular season champions of the USA South Athletic Conference, came from
behind late in the second half to beat eighth-seeded Shenandoah, 63-59,
in USA South quarterfinal matchup.
The Pride trailed 56-43 with 6:09
remaining. GC then went on a 15-2 run over the next 1:52 to tie the game
at 58 with 4:17 on the clock. A jump shot by Jamie Funk (5 points
and 8 rebounds) put GC ahead for good at 60-58 with 2:39 left.
"We made defensive stops and played
the way we wanted to play at the end," said GC Head Coach Jason Tuggle.
"We had some players step up at the end."
Greensboro was led by Kim Enoch
who scored 26 points and 18 rebounds. Ruthanne Clark scored 10 points,
including a big three-pointer and 2-2 free throws during The Pride's big
run.
In a game of runs GC held the Hornets
to just 3 points over the last 6:09. Shenadoah's Netagia Foreman scored
24 points and grabbed 11 rebounds. SU led at halftime, 28-27.
The Pride advances to play fourth-seeded
Peace at Christopher Newport University on Friday.
