Lady Trojans Escape Cobra Trap

HARTSVILLE, S.C. -- Freshman Shadae Thompson made one free throw with 22 seconds remaining in overtime and Anderson University stopped Coker's final possession as the Lady Trojans pulled out a 75-74 CVAC victory Monday night. Anderson, 20-3 overall and 14-2 in the league, led 38-29 at the break, but Coker quickly got back into the game in the opening minutes of the second half. There were six ties and four lead changes in the second half. The victory clinches Anderson's fourth straight 20-win season and keeps the Lady Trojans in a tie for first place with Pfeiffer. Anderson led 67-63 with 31 seconds remaining, but a field goal by Coker's Rebecca Kolbeck with 10 seconds remaining, two missed free throws by Deidra Langston, and a basket by Coker's India Elliot with one second remaining sent the game to overtime.
