Lady Rams drops SIAC contest to Lane College

ALBANY, Ga.- The Albany State women's basketball team was unable to snap its losing streak in its first home game of 2017. ASU made runs to stay in contention, but eventually lost 62-54 to Lane College.

However, in the third period, Lane outscored the home team 19-10 to take a commanding 52-37 advantage. A basket by Ashley Gayle at the 8:42 mark of the final stanza gave the visitors their biggest lead of the game at 54-37.
