COLUMBIA, KY -- The Lindsey Wilson College womens basketball team shot 50 percent from the floor in the second half to help erase a halftime deficit as the Blue Raiders defeated Georgetown (KY) College 66-61 today at Biggers Sports Center.

Despite trailing by as many five points in the second half, Lindsey Wilson (17-6, 3-2 in the Mid-South Conference) clawed back to tie the game at 49-49 with just over eight minutes left. Junior guard Sierra Ramberts basket with 8:08 left to put the Blue Raiders ahead for good en route to the win.

Georgetown junior guard Jayme Gilbert cut the Lindsey Wilson lead to 59-58 with 3:21 left, but a Rambert answer stopped the Tigers momentum and gave the Blue Raiders a 61-58 lead with 2:21 left. Gilbert finished with 16 points.

Rambert pushed the lead to 63-58 with a pair of free throws before the Tigers (14-10, 3-3) made another run.

The Tigers cut the Lindsey Wilson lead to three on two different occasions before sophomore guard Diondra Anthony clinched the game with a couple free throws to give the Blue Raiders the 66-61 victory.
