Women's Hoops Forces OT, But Falls at Hendrix

CONWAY, Ark. -- A late fourth quarter comeback forced overtime, but the LeTourneau women's basketball team's effort fell short at Hendrix on Saturday, 74-69, in SCAC action.

LeTourneau (5-16, 2-10 SCAC) trailed 56-50 with under three minutes remaining in the fourth quarter. Consecutive 3-pointers from Sallie Moser and Mariana Espinosa evened the score with 1:43 remaining. On LeTourneau's next possession, Robbi Martinez drained a 3-pointer to put the YellowJackets ahead 59-58 with 57 seconds left.

Hendrix tied the game at the free throw line before Kylie Weeks made two free throws with 30 seconds remaining to give LeTourneau a 61-59 lead. After Hendrix tied the game, LeTourneau had a chance to win in its final possession, but Moser's long 3-point attempt missed.

In overtime, Moser gave LeTourneau a 65-63 lead with her layup with 3:06 left. Hendrix scored the next six points and the YellowJackets would not lead again. Free throws down the stretch for the home Warriors sealed the game.

Martinez led LeTourneau with 19 points and six rebounds, while Weeks added 16 points with three assists. Weeks went a perfect 11-for-11 at the free throw line. Moser tallied 12 points and Espinosa had 10 points with seven rebounds and four assists.

LeTourneau trailed 19-11 at the end of the first, but then outscored Hendrix 14-7 in the second period to get within one (26-25) at the half.

In the third, LeTourneau went 12-of-13 from the free throw line and took a 42-40 lead entering the fourth.

Hendrix (12-9, 8-4 SCAC) was led by Riley Brady's double-double of 28 points and 30 rebounds. 

LeTourneau made 21-of-23 at the free throw line and connected on 31.7 percent (20-of-63) from the floor. Hendrix was also limited to 31.7 percent (19-of-60) from the field and the Warriors were 31-of-46 from the line.
