FORT VALLEY, Ga. – The Wildcats strong early schedule paid off when they started Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference action Saturday afternoon. Alicia Franklin made sure Fort Valley State did not fall just short again and guided the team to a 62-57 victory over Kentucky State.

Tied at 39-39 with 2:39 left in the third period, Nyah Dismukes and Torri Myers netted back-to-back buckets and the Wildcats (1-6/1-0 SIAC) led the rest of the way. FVSU led by only two, 43-41, heading to the fourth quarter, but Franklin downed her lone trey of the day to open the final 10 minutes as the margin over the Thorobreds (3-3/0-1 SIAC) never fell below five points.

Franklin was the second-half story. The All-SIAC guard went 7 for 13 and pumped in 20 of her game-high 28 points in the final 20 minutes of play. Franklin finished with 9 of 11 foul shots to go with seven rebounds, two steals and an assist in 38 minutes of work.

Keaundra Cox helped FVSU take a 31-24 lead to the half as she scored all 10 of her points in that stanza. Dismukes added seven points, four rebounds, three assists and three steals, while Myers chipped in six points, seven rebounds and a pair of steals.

Kentucky State center Brooke Wallace paced her team with 13 points and 15 rebounds.

The Wildcats never trailed by more than four points coming at 8-4 with 5:45 to go in the first quarter. Dismukes and Franklin converted one foul shot apiece in the final 1:27 for a 13-11 home edge after one.

Cox stole a ball and went coast-to-coast for the layup and added another just over a minute later for game's largest leads of 10, 22-12, and 11 points, 24-13, midway through the second period. A Franklin jumper in the lane took the contest to the 31-24 FVSU intermission score.

Kentucky State hit a triple to sneak ahead, 36-35, at 5:08 in the third frame for its lone second half lead. The visitors lead lasted 49 seconds when Franklin downed one of her seven second-half buckets.

FVSU will stay at home to complete its first SIAC series with a 6 p.m. Monday night, Nov. 26, contest against Central State.
