After leading the for all but four minutes of regulation, Fort Valley State was unable to carry it over into overtime where Miles College edged out a women's basketball win, 80-78.
 
The Wildcats' Kyndall Thomas top-of-the key jumper tied the contest for a third time in overtime, 78-78, with 53 seconds. Following a steal on the defensive end, the Bears (5-0) fired the ball down court and converted on a layup with 8.5 seconds left for an 80-78 lead. After a home timeout with 7.3 seconds, Nikki Culbreath's driving layup went off the rim and gave Miles the come-from-behind win.
