Rattlers Claim Overtime Dub at Alcorn

LORMAN, Miss. | There was a barnburner inside the Davey L. Whitney Complex Monday (Feb. 14), and the Florida A&M women's basketball team came out on top in a 60-58 overtime success over Alcorn State. Anisja Harris posted a game-high 22 points while Staysha Allen notched her first career double-double on a career-high 16 rebounds with 11 points. 

The visiting Rattlers led most of the night. They maintained an advantage through the 8:27-mark of the third quarter, including an 18-5 lead at the end of the first, before ASU staged its comeback. From there, back-and-forth scoring produced three lead changes, and the final seconds of regulation had the entire crowd on edge. Harris split a pair at the free-throw line to afford FAMU a 3-point advantage, and Tyginae Wright erased it on a last-second triple. The Alcorn forward hit another 3-ball to kick off the overtime period, but it was met by a 7-0 Rattler run. 

The Rattlers' 60 points marked the most recorded in six contests. They return to the hardwood Saturday against Alabama State at 2 p.m.
