BIRMINGHAM, AL – In the second meeting of the season, the Itawamba Community College Indians were unable to pull off a comeback win and fell 76-61 to Lawson State Community College Saturday.

On Saturday, the Indians found themselves down and needing another comeback as they trailed 35-27 at halftime.
In the second half, the Indians trailed by as much as 22 points, but a 10-0 run helped pull them in striking distance late. However the big deficit was too much to overcome, giving the indians their second loss in as many games.
