TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — The Sam Houston women's basketball team rallied in the second half to knock off Florida A&M 70-62 on Saturday.
The Bearkats (3-4) trailed by four at the half but got rolling in the third quarter. Sam Houston outscored the Rattlers (1-6) 26-17 in the period.
Down 44-39, the Kats responded with an 9-2 run to take their first lead at 48-46 thanks to baskets by Madelyn Batista, Chyna Allen, Mikayla Woods and a three-point play by Sydney Kemp. SHSU end the third up 59-54 when Batista knocked down a couple of free throws and Kaylee Jefferson hit one.
The Bearkats extended their lead to 66-58 on a layup by Jefferson and a 3-pointer by Allen with just under seven minutes to go in the game. Florida A&M could only get as close as six in the final 10 minutes as Sam Houston sealed the win at the free throw line.
