TROY – Troy clawed back from an eight-point deficit at the half to bring the matchup back within a possession but dropped a last-second heartbreaker to Alabama 82-79 in the first round of the WNIT Thursday in Trojan Arena.
Despite being down as many as 11 at the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Trojans refused to back down, cutting it down to a one-possession game with seven seconds to go.
The Trojans and Crimson Tide battled toe-to-toe through the opening four minutes before Troy broke open a 12-0 run. The run started with a Jhileiya Dunlap jumper and spanned all the way to the 3:56 mark when Sharonica Hartsfield knocked down a three-pointer to put the Trojans up 16-9. However, an Alabama 10-3 run to close the quarter cut Troy’s lead to 22-19 at the end of the first.
After Jada Rice opened the third quarter with a layup to make it a 10-point deficit, the Trojans began to rally back, cutting it to a single-digit deficit before the end of the quarter. With 4:43 to play in the third, Troy utilized a 6-0 run, sparked by a pair of buckets from Ja’Mia Hollings, to cut the score to 53-48. Both sides traded the last four scores to make it 59-52 heading into the final 10 minutes of action.
