Late Run Settles Rattlers’ SWAC Home-Opener

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. | The scoreboard was even late in the fourth quarter, but the Florida A&M women's basketball team was unable to capitalize on the push in a 71-55 defeat to Southern. Dylan Horton posted a career-high 25 points on Saturday afternoon -- back-to-back games doing so -- and was a rebound shy of a double-double. Anisja Harris joined her in double-digits with 17.

The Rattlers' dynamic duo were responsible for all but six points in the team's 33-28 opening half deficit and was wildly accurate from the floor with a combined 8-for-11 performance. The two kept FAMU in the game, but a 10-to-2 difference in turnovers was a key factor. Southern recorded 16 points on the miscues by the half, and a few late turnovers changed the tide after a 45-all tie.

The Rattlers never regained the upper hand after leading 17-15 at the end of the first quarter, and the 45-45 stalemate in the fourth (9:28) was met by a 16-0 Southern run. 

FAMU returns to the Al Lawson Center for a Monday (Jan. 10) affair with Grambling State. Tip-off is at 5:30 p.m.
