<\/p>\n
Great teams don’t stay down long, and the No. 5 Gannon Women’s Basketball team proved that on Sunday.<\/p>\n
Less than 24 hours after a narrow setback to Northern Michigan on Day 2, the Golden Knights stormed back. They took down No. 4 North Georgia 70\u201355, closing the weekend at 2\u20131 and leaving the final day of the 2025 CCA Women’s Division II Tip-Off Classic presented by AHN Sports Medicine with one of the event’s defining wins.<\/p>\n
After North Georgia opened the scoring, Gannon took control with a 21\u20137 first quarter and never surrendered the lead again.<\/p>\n
Bri Claxon<\/a> (South Webster, Ohio\/South Webster) led all scorers with 23 points on 9-of-15 shooting while knocking down three from beyond the arc. Kate Ratliff<\/a> (Canal Winchester, Ohio\/Canal Winchester) followed with 13 points and five assists, while Mia Slater<\/a> (Canberra, Australia\/Canberra Grammar School) provided 11 key points off the bench.\u00a0 Gannon not only closed the weekend strong, but they’ve now defeated two teams ranked ahead of them in the WBCA Preseason Poll, knocking off No. 2 Union (66-51) in the season\/home opener and No. 4 North Georgia on Sunday.<\/p>\n THE GAME FACTS THE KNIGHT CAP
