ATLANTA - The Purdue Fort Wayne women's basketball team dropped its opening game of the GSU Thanksgiving Classic on Tuesday (Nov. 26) to Georgia State 57-56.
Georgia State used a 17-12 fourth quarter to hold off the Mastodons. The Panthers were 6-of-11 from the floor while holding the Mastodons to 4-of-18 in the fourth quarter.
The two teams traded the lead three times, both leading for more than 15 minutes of the game. The Panthers' biggest lead was eight and the Mastodons' was seven.
The 'Dons jumped out to a 10-3 lead after starting the game with 3-pointers from Audra Emmerson and Renna Schwieterman and two buckets from Amellia Bromenschenkel. The Panthers fought back to eventually lead 26-18 after three triples in a 1:07 span.
After trailing by one at the halftime break, Emmerson's 3-pointer tied it at 30. After free throws from GSU, the Mastodons had a 14-7 stretch over the last 8:30 of the quarter to go up by four with 10 minutes to play. Six different 'Dons scored in this stretch. To start the fourth, Georgia State had an 11-0 run and never trailed again. The Mastodons tied it at 56 thanks to a 12-5 run late, which featured five points from Schwieterman. Georgia State's Crystal Henderson made 1-of-2 from the charity stripe with three seconds left, then Kaleigh Addie got a steal on the ensuing inbounds pass to seal the game.
Lauren Ross led the Mastodons with 12 points while adding seven rebounds. Bromenschenkel had 11 rebounds, eight points and three assists. Sydney Freeman had seven points and six assists.
Tuesday's game was the first one-point contest of the Maria Marchesano era.
Purdue Fort Wayne falls to 3-3 while Georgia State improves to 4-2. The Mastodons will take GSU's floor again on Wednesday (Nov. 27) with a game against Campbell at approximately 2 p.m.
