Women's hoops gets big win on Senior Day

BLUEFIELD – Two free throws by Tiyanna Scott with 37 seconds remaining gave the Rams the lead, and a charity toss by Tianna Crockett with 13 seconds to play sealed the deal as women's basketball defeated Montreat 64-61, Saturday afternoon on Senior Day at the Dome Gymnasium.
The contest was close early as the Rams held an 8-6 lead. BC went up 13-8 on a layup by Kylie Meadows and led 16-12 at the end of the first quarter.
Emily Breeding's steal and layup gave the Rams a seven-point lead, 23-16, with 7:00 to go in the half. Midway through the quarter Montreat charged and tied the game at 27. The Cavaliers went on to take the lead and led 34-29 at halftime.
The squads battled in the third as Montreat built a six-point lead. The Rams cut it to one on a layup by Nialla Curtis, 37-36, with 4:30 on the third quarter clock. BC retook the lead on a pair of Breeding free throws 43-42, with just over two minutes remaining. Scott's bucket gave the Rams a 45-42 lead and Shayla Spell's basket just before the buzzer put BC ahead 49-46 going into the fourth quarter.
Two minutes into the fourth Montreat retook the lead on a trey, 51-50. A driving layup by Crockett put the Rams back on top, 53-51 midway through the quarter and Scott's three gave BC a five-point lead.
Montreat retook the lead on a three with three-and-a-half to play but the Rams answered with a Curtis bucket to lead by one, 58-57.  The team exchanged the lead and with two minutes to go things were tied at 61. It stayed that way until Scott sank two free throws to give Bluefield a 63-61 lead with 37.7 seconds showing on the clock. A Montreat turnover under the basket with 15.6 to play gave Bluefield the ball. Crockett stepped to the line for two shots with 13 seconds on the clock and made the second shot to make it 64-61. Montreat could not convert the shot at the end and the Rams took the win.
Crockett led Bluefield with 15 points and a pair of assists. Curtis had 13 points, six rebounds and three blocks, while Scott added 13 points. Meadows finished with 10 points.
"I am really happy for our team and our seniors. Everyone who took the floor today made incredible contributions to beat a really good program," said BC head coach Corey Mullins.
"Our defense down the stretch was really good. I am proud of the effort that Tianna, Tiy, Shayla, and Nialla gave today, and the rest of the team responded."
After the game Bluefield College honored seniors Cierra Cook, Tianna Crockett, Nialla Curtis, Tiyanna Scott and Shayla Spell.
