COLUMBUS — Freshman point guard Brea Tackett scored a career-high 17 points including 5-of-7 from 3-point range as Capital edged Muskingum 69-68 Saturday to take over fourth place in the Ohio Athletic Conference.

Tackett — the former All-Ohio guard for Ironton — hit a trey with 50 seconds left to get Capital within one.

She then made a pass to Stacy Timmerman for the winning layup with 11 seconds left.

“I thought Brea Tackett came out and played huge for us today,” said Capital coach Dixie Jeffers.

“She made some very key baskets and (played) solid defense.”
