UCF Advances to WNIT Second Round in Overtime Thriller

ORLANDO, Fla. (UCFKnights.com) – The UCF women's basketball team rallied for a 65-60 overtime win over Jacksonville in the first round of the WNIT on Wednesday evening in CFE Arena.

"Our seniors really stepped up," UCF head coach Katie Abrahamson-Henderson said. "I'm very proud of them because we have another day. We're alive again, and that's big because it's March madness."

UCF (22-10) held a three point, 11-8, edge after the first quarter of action, but Jacksonville (24-9) outscored the Knights in the second 10 minutes to take a 21-16 lead into the locker rooms.
