Tigerettes Defeat Lady Dragons
            Oman arena was the setting for the SIAC Basketball contest between the Tigerettes of Tuskegee University, and the Lady Dragons of Lane College. The hard fought contest did not go the Lady Dragons way as they fell 74-60. The Lady Dragons defense pressed on the Tigerettes from the opening tip-off creating two turnovers, and two early fouls on the Tigerettes allowing the Lady Dragons to take an early 6-1 lead in the game. In a three-minute time frame, Tigerette' Jennifer Anoka scored 9 of her team leading 15 points to take the lead. At the 12:31 mark, the Tigerettes had extended their lead to 10 points 22-12. The Lady Dragons battled back and were able to tie the score 25-25 with 6:12 seconds left in the first half.  The Tigerettes outscored the Lady Dragons 9-4 in the final six minutes of the half to take a 34-29 halftime lead.
            The second half action showed more pressure by the Lady Dragons defensive unit, but they could not capitalize on the offensive end of the court. The Lady Dragons only connected on 10 of 27 (37%) shots in the second half.  The Tigerettes outscored the Lady Dragons 40-31 in the second half to take the 74-60 victory. The Lady Dragons were led in scoring by Brittany Peters with 13-points, while Angel Hornsburger added 10.
The Lady Dragons host the Lady Panthers from Claflin University for the next basketball action on January 31. Tip-off is scheduled for 5:30 p.m.
