Redshirt junior Taylor Brown registered her second double-double of the season as George Mason women's basketball fell 72-70 at Towson Sunday in the Patriots final non-conference game of the season.
Brown earned her third career double-double behind 25 points and 10 rebounds and classmate Jasmine Jackson added a career-high 20 points, hitting seven of eight from the free throw line but it was freshman Qierra Murray who fueled the Patriots four minute 21-11 run to close the game. The Baltimore native hit three late threes, including a half-court buzzer beater, on her way to 11 points.
The Patriots would outscore the Tigers 49-39 in the second half, but it was not enough to overcome a 33-21 deficit from the first half. After Mason started the first half strong, taking an 8-4 lead with 17 minutes remaining in the first half. However, the Patriots would score just 13 points in the remainder of the half.
The Patriots look to bounce back Sunday January, 4th when they host Saint Louis to open conference play at 2 p.m.
