Anne Marie Armstrong hit a 25-foot three-pointer with 1.5 seconds left to lift the Georgia Lady Bulldogs (9-2) to a 60-57 victory over TCU (6-6) at Daniel-Meyer Coliseum on Wednesday night.

The Lady Bulldogs outscored the Horned Frogs 7-0 over the final 1:06 to earn the victory over TCU, an NCAA Tournament team during nine of the past 10 seasons.

“It’s a good win,” Andy Landers said. “It was a win we needed. We needed a solid road win.

“I thought we played pretty well 80 percent of the time,” Landers continued. “The other 20 percent we were in breakdown mode. Ten percent of that time, we scrambled and did a good job of saving ourselves. The other 10 percent, we were giving away points.”

Porsha Phillips’ game-high tallies of 18 points and 14 rebounds led Georgia, her sixth double-double of the season. Armstrong added 15 points and Jasmine James chipped in 12.

“I thought Porsha was tremendous all night,” Landers said. “She played with a lot of heart. She looked tired. Actually, we played our kids more minutes tonight than we have all season, and I think that showed a little bit.”
