DeLand, FL - Georgia State earned the first win under new head coach Sharon Baldwin-Tener with a 70-61 victory on Sunday afternoon at Stetson.

Angelique Burtts had a double-double with 19 points and 10 rebounds, as did Chan Harris with 14 points, 10 rebounds and four blocked shots. Traci Haltiwanger hit four three-point shots and added 15 points to the attack.

Georgia State (1-1) shot 55.9% in the second half and 49.2% for the game, while having a 46-33 rebound advantage in the road win.

"I am happy for the team and it is always great to get any win on the road," veteran head coach Baldwin-Tener said. "We started the game strong today, then hit the drought at the end of the first half. But, we did what we needed to do in the second half and played better."

"Angelique had big plays when we needed them this afternoon," coach added. "Getting the rebound advantage and the 18 offensive rebounds is pleasing. But, I am not pleased with the turnover total (21) because that is still too many."

Georgia State hit seven of its first 10 shots and nine of its first 14 shots in building its early lead. GSU grew a 12-9 advantage to 26-13 with a 14-4 run with 8:47 to play in the opening half. But, the Panther missed their final nine shots of the half, coupled with the turnovers and Stetson closed to 26-24 at halftime.

In the second half, GSU held a 38-32 lead when Stetson rallied to tie at 38 with 14:11 to play. GSU responded with a 7-0 advantage at 11:47.

The visiting Panthers had nine-point leads twice during the 10-to-five minute span, when Stetson made a rare four-point play to make it 50-45 with 4:46 on the clock. A Haltiwanger three-pointer and a Burtts follow made it 63-53 with 3:27 and GSU finished off the win.

Georgia State stays in Florida for a Tuesday night game at Bethune-Cookman in Daytona Beach.
