Rachel Powers FVSU Past Tuskegee Down Stretch

FORT VALLEY, Ga. – The Wildcats saw their top inside player step up in a big way over the final five minutes Saturday afternoon. Shekinah Rachel produced a third of her game's output down the stretch including a game-sealing steal with five seconds left powered Fort Valley State to a 60-55 women's basketball victory over Tuskegee University.
 
Trailing 48-44 with 7:41 left, Aaniyah Allen, first, 32 seconds later and Keianna West at 6:00 even tied the game at 50-50 and 53-53 for the home team. Down 53-50, Rachel started her big final 295 seconds with a layup to pull back to within a point before the senior edged FVSU ahead, 55-53, on a 3-point play. Tuskegee tied the contest for the fourth time in the final period at 55-55, before West and Aaniyah Allen combined for 3 of 4 free throws with 18 and eight seconds for a 58-55 advantage. On the final visitors inbounds pass, Rachel swiped it and raced to her bucket for the game-sealing two points with two ticks left for the FVSU win.
 
Over the final 4:55, Rachel put up seven of her game-best 21 points, five of her 14 rebounds and two of her three steals. She made 5 of 9 from the floor and 11 of 16 free throws to go with two assists and a blocked shot.
 
Ayana Cockrell added nine points, while Aaniyah Allen and West both finished at seven points.
 
FVSU outrebounded Tuskegee, 38-34, and forced the visiting team into 20 turnovers.
 
Arielle McElroy paced the Golden Tigers with 14 points.
 
FVSU started fast as it went out to a 15-4 lead after the opening quarter. Tuskegee, though, owned the middle two periods by a 42-27 margin.
 
FVSU remains at home where it will host Spring Hill College in a 5:30 p.m. tip on Monday evening, Nov. 27.
