Huskies take their first game of the SMSU Crossover Challenge
MARSHALL, Minn. – St. Cloud State Women's Basketball trailed 20-6 after the first quarter of basketball and stormed all the way back to defeat the Washburn Ichabods in overtime, 70-68.
The Huskies got off to a shaky start, going just 2-12 from the field in the first quarter, accounting for just six points to the Ichabods 20. A flip switched in the second quarter as the Huskies shooting suddenly increased to 50%, outscoring the Ichabods 18-12, to make the score 32-24 at halftime.
The third quarter was a similar story as the Huskies field goal percentage again improved, as they went 7-11 from the field, outscoring the Ichabods 22-17 off some hot free throw shooting, going 8-9 from the stripe. Entering the fourth, the Huskies earned their first lead of the game, leading by as much as four. Some clutch baskets from Abigail O'Reilly and Alana Zarneke kept the Huskies ahead, but a clutch last second three-pointer by Washburn sent the two teams to overtime.
The Huskies maintained control of the overtime period despite Washburn out rebounding the Huskies 7-3. With 12 seconds remaining on the clock, Zarneke got a tough layup to drop to give the Huskies a 70-68 lead that they would carry to victory in an epic comeback.
