Alabama State at West Georgia
CARROLLTON, Ga. (Interstat) — The Alabama State Lady Hornets look to build on their first win of the season when they visit the West Georgia Wolves in a nonconference women’s basketball game Thursday.
Alabama State (1-2) snapped a two-game skid with a 72-55 victory over Talladega on Monday. Clearia Peterson recorded a double-double with 10 points and 10 rebounds in just 15 minutes off the bench, while Caylee Simpson added a team-high 14 points. The Lady Hornets’ two losses came on the road against Power Five opponents Auburn and Georgia.
West Georgia (1-1) is also coming off a dominant home performance, having routed Gardner-Webb 91-68 on Saturday. Jasmine Jones led the offensive outburst with 32 points, while Sydne Tolbert added 20 points and five assists. The Wolves opened their season with a 100-59 loss at Oregon.
The matchup at The Coliseum pits two teams seeking consistency early in the season. Alabama State will aim to carry its offensive momentum from Monday’s win, while West Georgia will rely on its high-scoring trio of Jones, Tolbert and Asia Donald, who combined for 74 points in their last outing.
