Jones helps No. 14 Georgia rout Alabama State
ATHENS, Ga. — Freshman Jasmine James scored 17 points to lead No. 14 Georgia to a 75-48 victory against overmatched Alabama State on Wednesday night.
All nine players who dressed for Georgia (4-0) played and scored, including 13 apiece by Ashley Houts and Anne Marie Armstrong and 11 by Porsha Phillips.
Tanika Jackson scored 10 for Alabama State (1-3).
Georgia was playing without 6-foot-5 starting center Angel Robinson, who suffered a neck injury in Georgia’s win over Rutgers on Sunday.
The Lady Dogs jumped out to a 15-2 lead in the first four minutes. Alabama State closed to within six at 19-13 with 8:32 to play after Nikel White hit a free throw. But Georgia outscored the Lady Hornets 18-6 the rest of the half.
