Athens, Ga.-- The SC State women's basketball team fell to the University of Georgia, 58-74, in a non-conference matchup in Stegeman Coliseum in Athens, Ga. With the loss the Lady Bulldogs dropped to 1-3 overall while the Georgia Bulldogs improves to 6-0.

SC State had three players to finish in double-digits led by Kourtney Williams with 15, including 13 in the second half. Persephone Goodwin had a good all-around game as she scored 13 points with five rebounds coupled with two blocks and one steal. Cabriel Duren contributed 13 points while Mykala Jones and Brittany Andersen had seven points each in the loss.

"We played well at times," said head coach Doug Robertson, who is in his sixth season at the helm of the Lady Bulldogs. "We had too many live ball turnovers which didn't allow us to control tempo something that we needed to do."
