WOMEN SUFFER FIRST GLIAC LOSS AT ASHLAND 80-77 IN OT

Box Score

ASHLAND, Ohio — The No. 8-ranked Michigan Tech women's basketball team had its perfect record in the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference snapped at Ashland today by a 80-77 score. Alicia Schneider's 3-pointer with four seconds left in regulation sent the game into overtime, but the host Eagles claimed the win.

The loss broke Tech's 10-game overall winning streak and its 15-game GLIAC winning streak.

"I didn't have us ready to play today, and we gave up some easy baskets early," said head coach John Barnes. "I think that carried through the whole game.

"We played hard for the final two minutes to get the game to overtime, but again gave up easy layups in the overtime. We need to learn how to execute our game plan for a full 40 minutes."

Tech (18-3, 15-1 GLIAC) trailed by six points with less than two minutes to go in regulation before Katie Zimmerman and Sarah Stream both made jumpshots and Katie Wysocky sank a layup. AU made two free throws for a 3-point lead with 17 second left before Scheider's 3-pointer tied the game at :04. Tech defense held for the final second of the second half to send the game to overtime.

Ashland (13-8, 9-7 GLIAC) opened the extra session by scoring six straight points. The Huskies were forced to foul to get back into contention and it worked. Zimmerman's putback layup with eight seconds left cut the margin to two. AU then made 1-of-2 foul shots, giving Stream a chance to send the game in to a second OT. Her leaning 3-pointer at the buzzer did not go in.

Wysocky finished with 24 points, 14 rebounds, four assists and four steals in the contest. Zimmerman added 16 points, and Stream tallied 14 more for the Huskies.

Tech held a 49-28 rebounding advantage in the game and made 20-of-22 free throws but committed 18 turnovers and shot just 5-of-21 (24 percent) from 3-point range.

Ashland shot 46 percent from the field and turned the ball over just nine times in victory.

Michigan Tech will continue a four-game road trip on Thursday (Feb. 12) at Ferris State. Tipoff is slated for 6 p.m.
