NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Auburn overcame a 17-point third-quarter deficit to pick up its third SEC win of the season, defeating Vanderbilt 64-59 in SEC women’s basketball action Thursday night at Memorial Gym.
Three players scored in double-figures for the Tigers (13-5, 3-1 SEC), led by 18 from senior Katie Frerking and 16 from senior Brandy Montgomery.
It was the second comeback of 17 points for Auburn this season; the Tigers also rallied from a 17-point deficit in the fourth quarter against Indiana on Nov. 27.
“Relentless. That’s all I can say,” Auburn head coach Terri Williams-Flournoy said.
