Sheals' Career Night Not Enough in Loss to Wolves

CARROLLTON, Ga. - Anovia Sheals had a career-high 22 points, but the Austin Peay State University women's basketball team dropped a 70-57 decision to Atlantic Sun Conference opponent West Georgia Wednesday at the Coliseum. 

Austin Peay took control of the first quarter, leading West Georgia by four at 8-4 with four minutes remaining. The Wolves went two-for-two from beyond the field in the next two minutes to take the lead at 12-10 with less than two minutes left in the frame. La'Nya Foster scored the quarter's final six points to give the Govs a 16-12 lead going into the second quarter. 

West Georgia began the second quarter on a 9-0 run to take the lead by five at 21-16 two and a half minutes into the frame. The Govs battled back to get back within two at 27-25 with four minutes remaining in the half, but the Wolves began to pull away as Zuriyah Davis put nine points on the board in the final four minutes, allowing the Wolves to lead 39-31 at the break. 

The Wolves extended their lead to 14 with 1:47 left in the third quarter. The Governors responded by making their last four baskets to trim their deficit to 59-52 with one quarter remaining. 

Anala Nelson and Anovia Sheals opened the fourth frame with consecutive layups to get the Govs within three at 59-56 with 8:45 left in regulation. The Governors entered a scoring drought until free throws by Foster with 35 seconds left on the clock. The drought allowed the Wolves to increase their lead to 12 at 68-56. West Georgia ended the game with free throws from Becca Leford, giving them the 70-57 ASUN win.
