Last Shot Dooms Lady Greyhounds

Alesha Penister hit two free throws with 6.1 seconds left for a 1-point lead, but Itawamba Community College responded with the last-second game-winner to take a 77-76 win over the Lady Greyhounds at Fulton, Mississippi.

The loss overshadowed an outstanding game from Penister as the sophomore finished with a career-high 33 points on 8-of-14 shooting while going 7-of-11 from the three-point line and 10-of-12 from the free throw line to go with five rebounds, three assists and two steals. Teiangula Boston scored 18 points and pulled down a team-high nine rebounds and De'Janice Hamilton finished with ten points and seven boards.

The Lady Greyhounds led 32-25 at the half, but Itawamba outscored ASU Mid-South in each of the last two quarters to get the win.

Next up is an NJCAA Region 2 matchup with North Arkansas College, currently ranked #11 in the NCJAA Division II national poll, Saturday, January 20, at The Dog House in the first of two games that have playoff implications.
