Bell Scores Career High in Overtime Loss

FLORENCE, Ala. -- Elexus Bell scored a career-high 24 points on 10-of-12 shooting, but Georgia State fell in overtime 91-90 at North Alabama.

The Panthers couldn't overcome 16 3-pointers from the Lions who had six players finish in double figures. Neither team had trouble shooting the ball as UNA shot 49% and GSU finished at 53%.

Georgia State trailed most of the contest, but put together a 10-0 run in the third quarter to go in front. North Alabama responded by starting the fourth quarter off hot before GSU rallied in the final two minutes.

With thirteen seconds left and the Panthers trailing 83-80, Taylor Henderson drilled a 3-pointer to tie the game. She finished with 21 points on 9-of-14 shooting with five rebounds.

GSU's defense held at the buzzer to force overtime, but North Alabama hit the go-ahead free throw with a second on the clock to secure the win for UNA.

Mikyla Tolivert and Taniyah Worth joined Bell and Henderson in double figures. Tolivert posted 13 points with four steals and Worth finished with 10 points and seven rebounds. 

Georgia State plays at Alabama A&M Monday in Huntsville.
