COLUMBUS, Ga. – Tabitha Odabe recorded her 17^th double-double of the season as she scored a game-high 18 points and grabbed a game-high 18 rebounds as Flagler College defeated Columbus State University 66-51 in a Peach Belt Conference women's basketball game Wednesday evening at the Lumpkin Center.

Flagler won its fourth game in a row to improve to 20-7 overall and 16-5 in the Peach Belt. The last time the Saints won 20 games in a season was in the 1998-99 season (20-14). The 16 league wins matches last year's total, which was a program-high. Columbus State had its four-game winning streak snapped and fell to 14-11 overall and 11-10 in conference play.

"I am so proud of our team," said head coach Erika Lang-Montgomery. "We battled for 40 minutes tonight. We were gritty and gutsy and that's all a coach can ask for. Tabitha had another strong performance and I thought this was Dayuna's (Johnson) most complete game. She was composed, took care of the ball, and made big shots."

The two teams played to a 35-all tie through the first 20 minutes, but the Saints dominated in the third quarter as they out-scored the Lady Cougars 22-8. Columbus State only made 15.8 percent (3-19) of its shots from the field in that quarter.

Tatum Jarvis made the first of two free throws to give the Lady Cougars a 41-38 lead with just under seven minutes to go in the third quarter.

Johnson eliminated the Columbus State advantage by making a three-pointer with 6:37 left and that started a 19-2 run by the Saints to close the third quarter. Johnson's basket also began a string of 16 unanswered points by Flagler.

Both teams struggled to shoot in the fourth quarter as Flagler went 0-for-8 from the field and Columbus State only made 3-of-22. The teams combined to scored 17 points.

The Lady Cougars shot 14.6 percent (6-41) from the floor in the second half.

Johnson scored a season-high 15 points for the Saints. She sank four 3-pointers. Malaysia Robinson added 14 points and six rebounds coming off the bench. Kierra Crane tacked on 10 points and seven rebounds. Ivana Boyd corralled nine rebounds and tallied five assists.
