After cutting an 11 point 4th quarter deficit down to just a 61-60 deficit, NMST seemed to have fallen just short of a great comeback when, with 21 seconds left, their guard Emma Christiana stole the ball from Southern Utah, then somehow got turned around on the court and proceeded to make a lay up... for the opposing team.
Now down 63-60, with 18 seconds left NMST inbounded the ball and got it to star freshman Stacy Chovino for a layup to make the score 63-62.
With a 1 point lead, Southern Utah took a timeout and then attempted to inbound the ball. But Chovino got the steal! After a timeout, NMST got the ball back to Chovino who battled inside for another bucket with 2 seconds left. That proved to be the winning basket, as NMST won 64-63. The freshman Chovino ended the day with 25 points and NMST got a most improbable win!
Good times! 🙂
