Panthers Overcome Double-Digit Deficit to Complete Sweep in Conway

GSU ended the game on a 19-2 run to beat Coastal Carolina 76-65.

CONWAY, S.C. -- After trailing by 11 in the third quarter, Georgia State dominated the final 10 minutes to knock off Coastal Carolina 76-65 Saturday at the HTC Center in Conway.

The Panthers outscored the Chanticleers 26-7 in the fourth quarter and ended the game on a 19-2 run to complete the two-game sweep on the road at Coastal.

Georgia State lead by two after the opening period but found themselves trailing by 11 in the final minute of the third quarter. Moriah Taylor drilled a deep, step-back 3-pointer to end the quarter, helping spark the comeback heading into the final period.

Taylor Henderon and Joelle Johnson each contributed eight points in the fourth quarter as the Panthers clamped down on defense and held CCU to just 19% shooting from the field.

With 3:15 to go, Taylor Hosendove stole the ball and scored to give GSU its first lead since the first half at 64-63. After the Chanticleers retook the lead, Johnson hit her first 3-pointer of the season with 1:32 on the clock to put the Panthers up by two. GSU would score the final 12 points of the contest. The Panthers went 7-for-8 at the free throw line in the final minute.

After scoring 17 points in Friday's win, Taniyah Worth had another strong performance with 16 points and six rebounds. Hosendove totaled eight points with nine rebounds and four steals and Henderson finished with 12 points, five rebounds, and five assists.

The Panthers improve to 6-3 on the season and 2-0 in the Sun Belt. GSU returns home to host Appalachian State Friday and Saturday at the GSU Sports Arena.
