Late Bucket Lifts ULM over Women’s Basketball

STATESBORO, Ga. – ULM's Daja Chase hit a runner with 0.7 seconds left on the clock, and Alayshia Hunter stole the inbounds pass on Georgia Southern's final possession to lift the Warhawks to a 50-49 Sun Belt Conference women's basketball victory over the Eagles Saturday afternoon in Hanner Fieldhouse.

Patrice Butler hit a pair of free throws to put Georgia Southern on top 49-48 with 1:01 to play. Each team missed on a 3-point try on their next possessions, and ULM had the ball with 15 seconds to play. Eagle Trellanie English-Lurry blocked Chelsea Tieuel's 3-point try, but Ashley Aune got the rebound in a scramble and fed Chase, who drove to the basket, hit the runner and was fouled.
