Navy women fall in league final to Bucknell in overtime

LEWISBURG, Pa. — Navy coach Stefanie Pemper said she thought it would take her team's best game of the season to defeat Bucknell in the Patriot League women's basketball tournament final Sunday.

The Midshipmen gave her that, but it still wasn't enough as Bucknell won, 79-71, in overtime.

"I don't know that we played better than we did today," Pemper said. "It wasn't good enough, but we played well."

A large part of why it wasn't good enough was the play of Bucknell senior Claire DeBoer, the Patriot League Player of the Year.
