Box Score Lakewood, N.J. - Georgian Court University, fighting for its postseason life, took a step in the right direction Saturday afternoon as the Lions dropped Dominican College, 82-78, in a rematch of the 2020-21 Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference Women's Basketball Championship Tournament title game.

Trailing the Lady Chargers by four at intermission (35-31), and by a spread of six (59-53) after three periods of play, GCU went all-in with a gutsy 19-12 push to overcome Dominican (72-71) with just 1:36 to go in regulation. The Lions refused to let off the gas the rest of way with a final 10-7 push to the finish line.

Tian Addison poured in a team-high 20 points in the inter-divisional decision, personally accounting for nine of Georgian Court's final 16 digits. Leighanna Lister fell just short of her eighth double-double as the senior supplied 18 points, nine rebounds, and three rejections in the win. Erika Aspajo and Anyssa Fields added 16 points apiece, tag-teaming for six three-pointers for the royal-and-blue.

Nerea Brajac distributed five helpers, complementing her four steals and six points for GCU.

Taylor Tomlinson (R Jr- Middletown, N.Y.) led the "charge" for Dominican with her team-leading 22 points. Alexis Suarez (R So.-Poughquag, N.Y.) followed with 15 points over 34 minutes while Olivia Levy (R So.-Stony Point, N.Y.) snared 10 rebounds (eight points) in the setback.

The Lions (7-11, 4-7 CACC) now put their focus on Holy Family University as the Tigers come to Lakewood this Wednesday night at 6:00 p.m. for a key conference divisional clash.
