ATLANTA, Ga. – The Wildcats are strong in the late game in 2020 in early January. After being forced to overtime, Jada Sleet scored the opening bucket and finished the extra period by downing all four free throws and helped Fort Valley State ice a women's basketball, 76-68, win at Clark Atlanta.

Following a pair of Panthers (5-11/4-4 Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference East) to send the game into overtime with 21 seconds, Sleet connected on a driving layup three ticks into the extra five minutes as the Wildcats (7-8/4-3 SIAC East) never trailed. Leading 69-68 with 47 seconds, Alicia Franklin converted a 3-point play to make it 72-68. Sleet pulled down the defensive rebound and converted two pairs at the charity stripe to seal the win.

With the win, FVSU improved to 7-8 and surpassed its win total from a year (6-20). The Wildcats also move into second place in the SIAC East standings. The FVSU overtime win made it two close January road wins in a row after it won 55-52 at Kentucky State a week ago.

Sleet made 5-of-10 from the floor and 4-of-6 from the foul line for her season-high 14-point effort as one of four to reach double figures. Franklin led the visitors with 16 points, while Nola Carter dropped in 15 points to go with five rebounds, five assists, two steals and a block. Torri Myers added 12 points and eight boards.

Alexia Green chipped in nine caroms, five points and two blocked shots. Nikki Culbreath had eight points.

Naomi Holloway led Clark Atlanta with 16 points.

Sleet aided FVSU take an early first-quarter lead. Trailing 6-4, the junior transfer hit a jumper, added a steal and breakaway layup and third bucket as part of an 8-0 for a 12-6 lead.

Tied at 22, the Wildcats finished the half by scoring eight of the final nine points, five coming from Franklin, for a 30-23 advantage.

FVSU held a lead by as many as 10 points, 33-23, and nine points, 42-33, in the third quarter before a 43-38 heading to the final 10 minutes.

Clark Atlanta outscored FVSU, 7-2, in the last two minutes of regulation to send the contest to overtime tied at 63-63.

FVSU will play at home next for the first time in 2020 next Wednesday night, Jan. 15, in a 6 p.m. game against Carver College.
