Tigers late comeback falls short against Wildcats

Box Score Colorado College's late run in the final minutes of the game wasn't enough as the Tigers fell to Johnson & Wales University on Tuesday evening in Reid Arena.
 
Down 78-69 with 1:40 left to play, junior Danielle Davis drained a pair of free throws that ignited a 6-0 run to pull within three points.
 
The Tigers forced the Wildcats into three turnovers over a one-minute span. Davis picked up the first steal and nailed a layup with 1:34 left on the clock, five seconds later senior Courtney Tyus grabbed another steal and hit a layup to take the score to 78-75.
 
CC got its final turnover with 33 ticks left on the clock, but was unable to capitalize as Johnson & Wales made three free throws to close out the game and earn the 81-75 victory.
 
Junior Katie Waters led the Tigers with 15 points, while Tyus picked up 14 points and a team-high six assists. Davis and junior Katie Wirth also scored in double figures with 13 and 12 points, respectively.
 
Davis also added six rebounds, five assists and three steals to aid Colorado College (0-10).
 
Johnson & Wales (7-9) was led by Amanda Weber with 28 points, while Kristen Ward, Chantal Thomas and Mariah Trinh all added 13 points each.
 
The Wildcats held a slim 43-39 lead at intermission, but the Tigers knotted it up with a pair of buckets by Wirth. The game remained close and was tied at 50-50 until JWU went on a 10-2 run to take the lead it would not relinquish.
 
Colorado College will play one final game before the New Year as it travels to Espanola, N.M. to take on Northern New Mexico College on Dec. 28.
