WILBERFORCE, Ohio – The Wildcats have made great strides heading into the break and continued it Saturday afternoon. Despite a Diamond Jones career high 30 points, Fort Valley State could not keep its early-game momentum as Central State rebounded and recorded a 71-66 women's basketball win.

Leading 15-11 with 3:49 left in the opening stanza, FVSU (2-7/2-4 Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference East) put in the next six points capped by an Amiya Allen jumper to open a 21-11 margin. A Jones trey answered a home triple for a second 10-point lead, 24-14, at 35 seconds in the first quarter. The Marauders (6-5/4-1 SIAC West) hit the final 3-pointer of the first quarter and went on for a big 23-7 second frame to control the game in the middle parts.

Down by nine points with under three minutes, Nikki Culbreath drained a left-corner triple to pull the Wildcats to within six, 69-63, at 2:16. Jones dropped her fourth 3-pointer with 32 seconds to pull to within 71-66 score, but it was the final points of the game.

Jones finished with a Wildcat career-high of 30 points on 10 of 21 field goals and 4 for 8 from 3-point land. She also grabbed nine rebounds and swiped two passes.

Torri Myers scored her 1,000-point

Senior forward Torri Myers reached a FVSU career milestone with 6:27 left in the game. With the layup, Myers reached 1,000 career points as she recorded exactly the eight points, she needed on Saturday to go with six rebounds.

Shekinah Rachel contributed eight points and nine boards, while Ja'Meisha Williams and Allen chipped in eight and six points.

Kailyn Nash had the big Central State outing with 24 points with 15 of 16 from the foul line to go with 16 rebounds.

FVSU will now be off until 2023 when it will host Miles College on Wednesday, Jan. 4, starting at 5:30 p.m.
