Second half rally lifts SGSC

AMERICUS – The No. 24 South Georgia State College Hawks overcame a 16-point deficit to win their tenth game in a row Wednesday night, defeating South Georgia Tech, 84-81.

The Hawks trailed by 16 points in the first half and didn’t take their first lead of the game until six minutes left in regulation.

“The guys just wouldn’t quit fighting,” said head coach Cory Baldwin.  “They (South Georgia Tech) made nine 3-pointers in the first half and none in the second half.  I think that was the difference in the game.”

The 10-game winning streak ties a school record.
