Chimere Jordan Leads Bobcats to First Victory Under Mo Smith Era; Set for Home Opener Against USC Aiken

What a dazzling performance by senior guard Chimere Jordan! The local product netted 35 points in her season debut to propel Georgia College (1-0) to a 72-52 victory this past Friday night in Anderson, SC.

Jordan knocked in 29 in the second half to put the match away, while also helping to earn first year head coach Maurice Smith his first victory as a collegiate coach in as many tries.

Now, GC will face USC Aiken in non-conference battle on Wed. Nov 17 to open up the home slate for the Bobcat women.

The Pacers (2-0) and 15-3 a year ago and Bobcats will get a "free" look at one another, as the game does count in the win/loss column, but not in the conference standings.

Therefore, what are the keys for Georgia College? Here you go:

1) TRANSITION DEFENSE: Early on, teams are not in the best of shape due to not seeing much live action. Hence, GC must be aware that the Pacers will look to attack early and can not afford to allow easy buckets.

2) REBOUNDING: I've hear Mo Smith say multiple times at practice, "One shot." What he means by that is that the Bobcats can't allow second chance opportunities against Aiken. The Bobcats won the battle on the boards in the season opener at Anderson 40 to 35, and whaddya know, the result was a win!

3) SPREAD THE SCORING: Because USC Aiken knows who the Bobcats' 'go to gal' is on the squad (Jordan), someone else will need to fill in the void if Jordan does not hit early on. I will be looking for other star senior guard Dominique Huffin to score when Jordan is doubled and cut off from penetrating off the dribble.

4) HAVE FUN: This is your home opener, and the last for seniors Jordan, Huffin, guard Mandi Dudish, and guard Jessica Baker. The crowd will be above average, as multiple festivities will be going on pre-tip invoking student and community spirit. Make it count!
