HOW IT HAPPENED
The Falcons and the Cougars met in the first of two meetings on Wednesday night in Columbus, Georgia. Columbus State cruised to a 103-61 victory over the Falcons.
After both teams exchanged baskets early in the opening period, that was as close as the game would get for the Falcons. Columbus State went on a 12-0 run before Montevallo was able to score their next basket. A jump shot from Ashley Dunstan broke the Cougars' run at 5:22 of the first period. Columbus State ended the period on a 9-3 run to lead the Falcons 27-9.
The second period went much like the first with the Falcons struggling to find a rhythm on the offensive side of the ball. Columbus pulled ahead 60-27 as both teams headed into halftime.
In the second half, Montevallo was outscored by the Cougars 43-34 as Columbus State cruised to a 103-61 victory over the Falcons.
