Sand Sharks let late lead slip away, fall to Tigers in “River Rivalry”

SAVANNAH -- USCB's women's basketball team controlled nearly the entire game against the cross-river rival, Savannah State, but a late rally from the Tigers past the Sand Sharks 61-56 Tuesday night at Enmarket Arena.

Lydia Gattozzi boasted a game-high 18 points to go along with six rebounds while Shaniya Rose dropped 14 points with seven boards, and Taniayh Bowman added 11 points.
The Sand Sharks controlled nearly the entire first period as USCB opened the game on a 15-2 run highlighted Gattozzi's triple from the wing. The lead was extended to as large as 10 midway through the period, but SSU battled back to within single digits as time expired in the first. Bartelt and Gattozzi connected on a sweet connection fast break to push the Sand Sharks lead to 11 and Beaufort went into the half up 31-20.

Savannah State picked up the pace in the second half, outscoring USCB 15-9 in the third period, but the Sand Sharks continued to stay ahead of the Tigers. But it was a fourth quarter run for SSU that propelled the Tigers to the 61-56 victory, scoring 26 points in the final period compared to Beaufort's 16.

USCB travels south to Barry University Friday evening to compete in the Dan Olson Alumni Shootout. Tip off against the Bucs is scheduled for 5:30 p.m.
