ST. LOUIS - Trailing 76-75 with less than one second remaining, freshman Sidnee Bopp's buzzer-beating three-pointer from the left corner propelled WKU to a 78-76 overtime win at Saint Louis and into the WNIT quarterfinals inside Chaifetz Arena on Friday evening.

Bopp's lone field goal of the game gave the Lady Toppers (27-6) a thrilling victory over the Billikens (26-8) in the first overtime contest of the 2016 WNIT. WKU is also the lone program to advance into the final eight while playing on the road in the round of 16.
