TROY, Alabama – After suffering an eye-opening loss to Georgia State at home last season, the Troy women's basketball team was prepared for test on Sunday and came away victorious, 90-86, in Trojan Arena.
Senior Chelsey Gibson, a Marquette transfer, turned her best overall performance of the season with 16 points and 10 rebounds including a jumper with 2:06 to play to give Troy the lead for good. Gibson scored 17 points against Montevallo on Dec. 9, but was averaging just 4.5 points per game entering the contest.
"When you look at the stat sheet, Chelsey isn't one that really catches your eye," Troy head coach Chanda Rigby said.
