ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. - Tamera Thorpe scored her 1,000th career point, but the No. 20 University of North Georgia women's basketball team couldn't pull out a win over Flagler in overtime, falling, 74-70, Monday afternoon.

With a jumper at the 4:15 mark in the third quarter, the senior transfer notched point No. 1,001 with her 14th point of the game to put UNG up, 43-42, at that point. From there, the two teams went back and forth before Flagler took a four-point lead with 40 seconds to play in regulation.

A Julianne Sutton and-one opportunity with 33 seconds left turned into a four point swing after Sutton's free throw was off the mark and Vanessa Agrusa rebounded and put back the shot to tie the game at 62. After two free throws by the Saints, Agrusa came through again to force overtime with her bucket in the paint as regulation came to a close.

Flagler controlled the overtime period, though, retaking the lead right away and never relinquishing it.

- UNG has lost three of its last four overtime games with its only win coming against Young Harris on January 10, 2018.
