Women’s hoop comeback bid falls short
Down by as many as 14, the Franklin College women’s basketball team staged a late rally but wound up with a 67-64 defeat at Transylvania University on Wednesday night.
A basket by Mandy Fisher briefly put the Grizzlies on top 64-63 with 41 seconds left to play, but the Pioneers regained the lead at the foul line and held on in the closing moments.
The Grizzlies were led by Sarah Taylor’s season-high 19 points. Fisher totaled eight points, five rebounds and five assists.
Franklin, which has clinched a berth in the Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference tournament with a 10-7 league record, closes the regular season Saturday with a home game against Anderson.
