ROCK HILL, S.C. - The 8th ranked Clinton College women's basketball team rallied in the fourth quarter to knock off NCCAA foe Toccoa Falls College (Ga.) 65-64 on Senior day Saturday.
TFC got up quick on the Lady Bears leading 19-8 after the first quarter and took a 30-19 lead at the break. Clinton then scored 21 points in the third quarter but still trailed 50-40 heading into the fourth. However, this is where Clinton made their run as they went on a 17-0 run in the 4th to take their first lead at 59-54 with 3 minutes to play. Toccoa would make their final run 7-0 to go back up 61-59 with under a minute to go.
