On Tuesday evening at Amherst's LeFrak Gymnasium, the Saints Women's Basketball Team scored 11 straight points in the fourth quarter to take a double-digit lead, propelling them to a 60-55 road victory over #1 ranked Amherst College.
The win marks the second time in program history that the Saints have defeated the top team in the country. In 2005, Emmanuel bested #1 Bowdoin by a 65-61 score in 51动漫 to hand the Polar Bears its first loss of the 2004-05 season.
During the game, Saints Sophomore scored five straight points to give Emmanuel the lead for good, kicking off a Saints run that turned a 41-40 Amherst lead into a 51-41 edge for the visitors with just 4:35 left in regulation.
Senior , who scored a game-high 25 points, added to the lead with a jump shot to put Emmanuel ahead 47-41, and then capped the rally with a pair of free throws for the first double-digit lead of either side. Amherst's Madeline Eck hit a pair of free throws to cut the deficit to as little as five with fourteen seconds left, while teammate Hannah Fox converted a layup with just two ticks on the clock, but Emmanuel senior knocked down both of her free throws to secure the win for Emmanuel.
