Women’s Basketball Beats Neumann in OT

D’Ambrosio hits game-winning floater with 10 seconds left to propel Pride to third win

CHESTER, Pa. – Jordan D'Ambrosio hit a floating jump shot with 10 seconds left in overtime to lift the Widener women's basketball team to a 67-64 victory over Neumann on Tuesday night at Schwartz Athletic Center. 
 
D'Ambrosio and Erin Phelan led the Pride (3-1) with 16 points apiece in the win.  
 
HOW IT HAPPENED AGAINST NEUMANN 
  • After trailing by eight points at halftime, the Pride put together a strong third quarter, pouring in 24 points to take a 48-43 lead. The Pride shot a blistering 62.5 percent from the field in the period. 
  • In the fourth quarter, Neumann managed to take a 60-53 lead with 2:53 left, but the Pride went on an 8-1 run in which Phelan made a bucket in the paint and Nicole Barnes hit two three-pointers from the top of the key to force overtime. 
  • In the overtime period, Widener never trailed and managed to take the lead for good after D'Ambrosio hit her game-winning shot from the right side of the lane. Phelan added a free throw with five seconds left to seal the victory. 
  • The Pride also received 11 points apiece from Barnes and Brooke Bachtle. Barnes also led the Blue and Gold with seven rebounds and four assists.

Tip-off is set for 7 p.m. The winner of that game will face the winner between Penn State Harrisburg and the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford in the championship game on Sunday.
