No. 17 NC State women outscore Georgia Tech 14-6 in OT (Feb 9, 2017)
ATLANTA (AP) Dominique Wilson scored 23 points, Chelsea Nelson had 15 points and eight rebounds, and No. 17 North Carolina State outscored Georgia Tech 14-6 in overtime for a 75-67 victory on Thursday night.
Wilson hit two free throws with 44 seconds left in regulation for a 61-58 lead and Zaire O'Neil matched the makes from the line at the other end. Georgia Tech stole the inbounds pass with 35 seconds left and O'Neil hit 1 of 2 to tie it. Wilson missed a 3 and NC State grabbed the offensive rebound but Nelson's desperation shot was no good.
Ashley Williams hit a 3-pointer to start overtime, her fifth of the game, and the Wolfpack led the rest of the way. Imani Tilford made two free throws to pull GT to 71-67 with 1:23 to go but the Yellow Jackets didn't score again.
Williams and Miah Spencer each added 16 points for NC State (18-6, 8-3 ACC). The Wolfpack only got five combined points from their other five players that saw time.
O'Neil was 10 of 16 from the floor, 8 of 10 at the line and scored a career-high 28 points with nine rebounds for Georgia Tech (14-10, 3-8). Tilford had 12 points, five assists and four steals for the Yellow Jackets, who outrebounded the Wolfpack 50-38 but were only 1 of 9 from distance.
