Foster Paces Govs in Loss to Jaspers

BOCA RATON, Fla. - Austin Peay State University women's basketball team dropped a 61-46 decision to Manhattan on the first day of their stay at the Florida Atlantic University Thanksgiving Classic. 

La'Nya Foster, Anovia Sheals, and Sa'Mya Wyatt combined for 32 points in the loss, with Foster pacing the team with nine boards. 

Austin Peay (2-4) and Manhattan (6-2) began the game by exchanging shots, with a second-chance layup by Foster tying the game at six with 7:18 remaining in the first quarter. The Jaspers led by as many as four with a layup by Petra Juric, making the score 12-8 with three minutes remaining. Wyatt responded with a layup from the paint nine seconds later, getting the Govs back within two at 12-10. The two teams would remain scoreless for the remainder of the first quarter. 

The Jaspers outscored the Govs 24-10 in the second quarter, allowing them to lead by 16 at 36-20 at halftime.

A layup by Sheals a minute and a half into the third quarter cut the Govs' trail to 14 at 38-24. However, the Jaspers would go on a 7-1 run to lead by 20 at 45-25. A 9-1 run from the Govs, including five points from Sheals, got the Govs within 13 at 47-34, but a jumper from Ines Gimenez Monserrat ended the quarter with the Jaspers leading 49-34.

The Jaspers led by as many as 19 at 53-34 with a layup by one and a jumper from Leyla Öztürk. The Govs trimmed their deficit to as few as 13 at 53-40 with just over five minutes remaining from a layup by Sheals. The two teams traded points, but the 61-46 victory went to the Jaspers.
