HUTCHINSON, Kan. — South Georgia State used a full court press to build a 14 point lead, then had to hold on in overtime to defeat Salt Lake 93-89 in the final game Monday at the NJCAA National Tournament.
The Hawks looked to be in control until a barrage of three pointers from Felix Lemetti helped get the Bruins back in the game. But poor execution down the stretch by Salt Lake and free throws late for the Hawks in the extra period sealed the win.
South Georgia was led by Jalen King and Daniel Perrish with 19 points each. Jay Allen-Tovar led the way for the Bruins with 20 points and Lemetti who added 18 on six 3 pointers.
