GC Women's Hoops Squeaks Out a Win vs. West Georgia; On the Road to Dahlonega Weekend after Thanksgiving

Well, it wasn't pretty.

But the old saying remains true: "A win is a win!"

And that's exactly how the Georgia College women's basketball team handled their business this past Tuesday night at home in a 42-41 win over West Georgia. GC closed out the contest on a 15-0 run for capture the victory. Junior forward Tammeisha Law hit two big free throws with less than a minute remaining to put GC in front for good as the team held on for the victory.

Senior guard Chimere Jordan led all scorers with 17 points. The Bobcats shot just 24.4 percent from the floor in the contest, but played spectacular defense down the stretch, chipping away and ultimately garnering the win.

Now it's time to hit the road to Dahlonega, Ga. The Bobcats (3-0) will play in a quick two day. two team tourney hosted by North Georgia College & State University. In the tournament, GC will get to square off against two NAIA schools. Friday, Nov. 26 the Bobcats tip off the tourney with Trevecca Nazarene of Nashville, TN at 4:00, followed by a Saturday afternoon match against St. Augustine's at 1:00 p.m.

Here are some keys to a couple of GC victories:

1) ENERGY: This past Tuesday against West Georgia, the ladies were lethargic for most of the first half. It will be key coming in from a long bus ride and some big meals after Thanksgiving to mentally prepare yourself for the game and play with a high level of energy.

2) DON'T SETTLE: Multiple times in the game against the West Ga. Wolves, the Bobcats settled for too many jumpers. Let's move the basketball effectively against the defenses we will face this weekend for the best shot available.

3) LIMIT TURNOVERS: Georgia College committed 21 turnovers as a team last game against W. Ga. That must change this weekend on the road in Dahlonega.

4) KEEP UP THE FREE THROW SHOOTING: The free tosses this year has been outstanding! Keep up the great free throw shooting this weekend, along with keys 1-3, and things should fall into place nicely for head coach Mo Smith and his 'Cats!
