ST. AUGUSTINE – For the second consecutive game Chris Wilson and Tabitha Odabe each recorded a double-double as Flagler College knocked off No. 22 (WBCA Division II Top 25) University of North Georgia 74-70 in overtime in a Peach Belt Conference women's basketball game Monday afternoon at Flagler Gymnasium. Also, head coach Erika Lang-Montgomery recorded her 100th career victory at the helm of the Saints program.

North Georgia had its four-game winning streak snapped and fell to 12-3 overall and 7-2 in conference play.

"This was a big win for our program," said Lang-Montgomery. "I'm so proud of our team effort today as well as for believing and fighting to the finish. They played their guts out and I am happy we came out on the positive side. Tabitha and Chris continue to be a force inside. Ivana Boyd gave us some quality minutes. She is our energizer."
