Mastodons Fall in OT

Corpus Christi, TX- Texas A&M Corpus Christi’s Nicole Duncan tied it in regulation, and hit what proved to be the game-winner in overtime, and the Islanders held off the IPFW Mastodons 82-79, on Friday night in Texas.

Duncan hit a jumper with 23 seconds left in the game to tie it at 72, and send it into OT.

In overtime, IPFW took a five point lead, but Duncan drilled a three-pointer to give TAMUCC (18-9) a lead they wouldn’t relinquish.

Junior guard Courtney Nicley (Lebanon, IN) poured in a season-high 19 points for the Mastodons (7-19).

Amy Gearlds (Sr/F/Beech Grove, IN) registered a double-double with 17 points and ten rebounds. Verea Bibbs (Jr/C/Euclid, OH) and Maggie Bruening (Sr/G/Fort Wayne, IN) also reached double-figures with 15 and 12 respectively.

Center Jackie Ododa led the Islanders with 18 points and 16 rebounds. Guard Kirbria Lewis tossed in seventeen.
