11/27/2005 12:00:00 AM | Women's Basketball
DURHAM, N.C. ? Tied with George Mason with less than four minutes to play in the Duke Classic consolation game, the Arkansas State women's basketball team rallied to defeat the Patriots, 74-66, for third place. Arkansas State's Adrianne Davie led with a game and career-high 29 points and a game-high 14 rebounds to pull the Lady Indians to victory. George Mason falls to 2-2 on the season, while Arkansas State improves to 3-1.
Davie controlled the opening minute of the game, hitting two shots in less than 45 minutes, and a layup by Kelsey Lock gave Arkansas State an early 6-0 lead. A nine-point lead four minutes in, however, was the highest advantage the Lady Indians would gain on their opponent.
George Mason picked up its offense and pulled within a point on a three-pointer by Jen Daniels before gaining its first lead at 11:10 with another trey by Tracy Ann Holness. From there, the two teams would trade leads 11 more times with 10 tied scores.
Arkansas State led 41-39 at halftime, and Davie put up an immediate jump shot off an assist from Rudy Sims to open the second period. The Patriots and Lady Indians traded baskets for several minutes before George Mason knotted the score at 48 with 14:40 left.
Holness gave the Patriots their first lead of the second half with a layup at 13:17, but Davie quickly responded on her end of the court, to match George Mason's 50 points. After three more ties, Holness again put the Patriots aheady by two with eight minutes to go with a pair of free throws, and a Casey Quigley basket a minute later would match George Mason's widest lead of the game at 62-58.
Davie once again began a comeback for the Lady Indians with two free throws at six-and-a-half minutes to bring her team within two. Kelsey Lock tied the score 40 seconds later, and another pair of free throws from Davie lifted the Lady Indians by two with less than five minutes to go. George Mason's Jen Daniels tied the score for the last time at 3:59, but two more free throws from Davie just over a minute later would give Arkansas State a permanent advantage. The Lady Indians topped George Mason, 8-2, in the final 2:38 to come away with the 74-66 win.
Davie earned the 25th double-double of her career while notching a career-high 29 points and 14 rebounds. Arkansas State's Lock earned the first double-double of her career, scoring 12 points while pulling down 10 rebounds and adding a pair of assists. Amber Abraham hit five three-pointers and finished with 18 points.
Holness led the Patriots with a career-high 21 points and also contributed six rebounds, an assist and a block. Two other George Mason players scored in double-figures, as Jen Daniels nailed three treys and finished with 15, and Colleen Shumaker put up a career-high 10 points. The Patriots brought 20 points off the bench in contrast to Arkansas State's four.
Arkansas State next heads to Purdue, where the Lady Indians will play at 7 p.m. Tuesday. George Mason faces Miami on Wednesday at 7 p.m.
