AUGUSTA, Ga. – The Augusta University women's basketball team hosted the Francis Marion Patriots on Wednesday night for the cancer awareness games and dropped a 72-64 Peach Belt Conference East Division matchup

AU led 19-11 after one period of play, with JJ Williams and Tavia Sykes scoring a quick five points each. They stayed up by nine in the start of the second, but the Patriots tied it 22-all on Khai Chandler's layup.

 

The Jaguars jumped ahead and took the half 39-33. They led for entire second half until 7:20 to go in the fourth when Chandler canner another jumper for a 58-57 score. The game was tied 63-all with 3:30 to play in the game.
