SAN FRANCISCO — As the whistle blew on Mikayla Williams' charge, University of San Francisco women's basketball head coach Molly Goodenbour threw up her hands and shook her head.
Having already seen her Dons come back from a double-digit deficit in the first half, with a chance to do it again with a minute left on Thursday against Portland, leading scorer Williams was called for a charge.
The change of possession stifled the momentum the Dons' women's basketball team had built over the final four minutes and ultimately handed a 73-66 West Coast Conference win to the Pilots.
