Huskies fall 60-58 to Minot State

ST. CLOUD, Minn. - The St. Cloud State women's basketball dropped its third consecutive game falling in a heart breaker to Minot State off a buzzer beater shot Friday evening at Halenbeck Hall. The Huskies fell 60-58 to the Beavers as St. Cloud came back during the fourth period after struggling in the first three. In the first half of the game, the Huskies shot .222 from the field while in the fourth quarter had a much better offensive showing shooting .833. Two athletes scored in the double-digit marks.

GAME SUMMARY
The Huskies ended the first half of the game down 32-18 following a rough offensive showing. St. Cloud was out scored 17-6 in the first and 15-12 in the second with Minot State holding the lead the entire time. Morgan Draheim led the half with six points while six others put up two points each.

The third period wasn't in favor of the Huskies as they found themselves down 16 points midway through with the period ending 41-30 Minot State. The fourth period was another story. St. Cloud opened with a 5-0 run cutting the lead to 41-35. Minot would jump back up by ten at the 7:17 mark until the Huskies started to rally back. St. Cloud never cut the lead to less than five through the next several minutes until Jada Eggebrecht sank a three to cut the lead to four-points, 55-51, with just over a minute and half left in the game. With just 16 seconds left on the clock, Eggebrecht was fouled going up to the basket and sent to the line. With the stakes high, the freshman executed at the line hitting two key free-throws to tie it up at 58. With just two seconds left and a Minot State possession, the Huskies were looking to get a stop and send the game into overtime. However, a Minot player managed to get past under basket hitting her shot right before the buzzer to end the game.
