The West Georgia Tech women led 27-16 at the half but could not hold the lead, dropping a 61-55 decision to host Andrew College on Saturday afternoon.

WGTC forced 36 turnovers. Ten different WGTC players had at least one steal, led by Howard with six.

Both teams shot less than 30 percent from the field.

"Our girls played hard and at times we played well," WGTC head coach Kenny Edwards said. "I think we ran out of gas a little bit in the Andrew game because we played so much basketball over the last week. But that is something we'll have to get used to, and get better at. We really played well against Chattahoochee Tech, we played our style of basketball. But we got away from that a little bit against Andrew, especially in the second half."
