Gold Nuggets lose by a point at NCAA D2 opponent
The Gold Nuggets (10-5) will open their Gulf Coast Athletic Conference schedule at home at 5:30 p.m. Monday against Tougaloo in the Convocation Center.
Gettis scored to help the Lady Magicians (6-8), an NCAA Division II team, rally from a 53-49 deficit in the final 3 1/2 minutes. Gettis was fouled on her winning shot, missed the ensuing free throw, then XULA's Kyla Duncan missed a 2-pointer at the buzzer.
XULA, a longtime NAIA member, did not score after Duncan's two free throws made it 55-52 with 1:43 remaining. The Gold Nuggets committed four turnovers in the final minute.
The Gold Nuggets trailed 44-38 after Glenda Garner's basket at 3:16 of the third quarter, but XULA scored the first six points of the final period — including an Anica Gacevic 3-pointer — to take a 51-47 lead with 5:51 remaining.
Jas Hill led the Gold Nuggets with nine points and six rebounds but was 4-of-16 from the floor and missed all six of her 3-point attempts. Essence Wells and Nina German scored seven points apiece. Wells made 5-of-5 free throws, and German, a freshman, posted a career scoring best. Mikayla Bates grabbed six rebounds.
LeMoyne-Owen outshot XULA 40.4 to 31 percent from the floor. The Lady Magicians made 17-of-36 free throws — 11-of-20 by Lamontazia Blair, who finished with 17 points — to XULA's 15-of-20. The Gold Nuggets had a 38-35 rebound advantage.
BOX SCORE
Coach Bo Browder's Gold Nuggets led 19-13 after one quarter, then trailed 34-30 at halftime after scoring 11 points, matching their fewest in a second quarter this season. The teams were tied at 45 through three quarters. There were 10 lead changes and seven ties.Close game in Memphis -- 10 lead changes and seven ties -- before @locathletics emerged with a 56-55 win vs. @GoldnuggetsXU.
