LACEY, Wash. – Trailing by 10 entering the fourth quarter, the Western Oregon University women's basketball team put together a 17-5 run over the final 10 minutes of the game to rally and defeat Saint Martin's, 49-47, Saturday in Great Northwest Athletic Conference action inside Marcus Pavilion.
As it turned out, WOU (8-9, 4-6 GNAC) only had one lead all night and it came with 38 seconds left in the game. The Wolves also swept the season series from Saint Martin's for the first time since the 2016-17 season.
Saint Martin's (10-8, 2-7 GNAC) held a 12-point lead late in the third quarter before a layup by Amber Winkler closed the third and helped ignite the Wolves entering the fourth.
The run stretched right into the final frame with Madisyn Clark hitting two free throws and after two free throws by Makenna Gambee, the run was at 6-0 and WOU was within six at 42-36.
Following a layup by Emily Nelson pushed the lead back to eight, WOU reeled off the next seven points. Gambee hit a layup and Winkler added a running jumper. Winkler later hit a free throw before Alexis Wright closed the run with a layup to trim the deficit to one at 44-43 with 2:54 to play.
A three-pointer by Tierney DeDonatis moved Saint Martin's back in front by four, but that would be the final points the Saints would score.
Tresai McCarver hit a clutch three from the wing with a minute to play to make it a one-point game. Following a defensive stop, WOU called timeout and went with Clark who drove to the left side of the paint and was able to hit a tough layup to give the Wolves their first lead of the game at 48-47 with 38 seconds to play.
The Saints went inside the Chenoa Louie on the next possession and her layup attempt just rimmed out and WOU secured the layup. Saint Martin's brought the pressure and forced a turnover, but a missed shot by Louie was rebounded again by Cali McClave with five seconds to play. Forced to foul, the Saints sent McCarver to the line. She hit one of two to push the lead to two. Saint Martin's tried to hit DeDonatis in the corner for a potential game-winning three, but the ball was knocked out of bounds with one second to play. The Saints found Claire Dingus under the basket, but her contested layup attempt missed to secure the victory for the Wolves.
