GOODMAN—The Lady Tigers went down to the Holmes Lady Bulldogs last night in Goodman, falling by a final of 86-59. Erica Collins racked up her 7th double-double of the season for CCC.

The Lady Tigers hung tough in the game's opening minutes against a Holmes squad seeking its 13th win of the season. The Lady Bulldogs led by just 6 a little over 8 minutes into the contest. They then reeled off an impressive 26-12 run that was broken up by Amber Sisk's buzzer-beating 3-pointer at the end of the 1st half. Holmes went into the locker room leading 42-25.

Sisk was money for CCC. The sophomore from Oxford knocked down 3 3's in the game and finished with 11 points. While Sisk held it down from the outside, Erica Collins served as the anchor on the inside. The reliable sophomore center finished with 15 points, 12 rebounds, and 2 blocks to lead the way for the Lady Tigers. 

Holmes forced 22 CCC turnovers and capitalized on the miscues for 32 points. The Lady Bulldogs were led by Carmesha Nalls, who torched the Lady Tigers for 24 points in 31 minutes. Tiffany Jones added 19 of her own, and Holmes outscored CCC 44-34 in the 2nd half to earn the win.

With the loss, the Lady Tigers now stand at 2-16 overall, 1-12 in the MACJC, and 0-8 against MACJC North opponents. They will continue their quest for their first road win of the season February 9th at East Mississippi. Tipoff in Scooba is scheduled for 5:30 pm.
