JJ Hickson

Sophomore sharpshooter JJ Hickson connected on 5-9 from long range to spark the Alice Lloyd College Lady Eagles to a big 67-53 come-from-behind win over the visiting Ohio Christian University Lady Trailblazers on Saturday.

In the opening half, things seemed to be going well for ALC as they led the entire way. By intermission, their lead had grown to 10 (32-22).

However, OCU opened up the last half with 7 quick points before ALC knew what hit them. They used this momentum to outscore the hosts 18-3 in the first 5:40. When the dust settled, the Lady Trailblazers led 40-35 with 14:10 remaining.

Ohio Christian held on to the lead until 6:42 remaining. At this point, ALC proved why they are currently #1 in their conference.  Hickson connected on a big bucket to tie the score.  Then, Ariel Nickell followed with 2 important free throws and a short jumper.

The Lady Eagles went on to close the game on an 18-4 run to seal the contest.

For ALC (7-4) Hickson led all scorers with 20 points. Ariel Nickell pumped in 17 points and added 13 big rebounds. She also dished out 4 assists.

Nickell fends off OCU defender Shawann Gadson.

Carla Booth, ALC’s ever-steady point guard, chipped in with 11.

Ohio Christian (5-4) was led by Olivia Davis with 13 points.

The Lady Eagles will next travel to Kentucky Christian University on December 4th. That game is set to tip at 6 PM.
