February 8, 2007 Lacey, WA – Saint Martin’s women’s basketball lost a heart breaker as Seattle Pacific hit a game winner in the final second to win 68-66 Thursday night at the SMU Pavilion. The first half stayed close as neither team was able to go ahead by more then eight. Tied 25-25 with 48 seconds left in the half Krissy Bassett hit two free throws to put the Saints back on top only to see SPU’s Libby Magnuson hit two free throws of her own to tie the game for the fourth time and put the score even at the half. The second half was much of the same as the two teams continued to battle back and forth. With 53 seconds left on the clock and down by one, 63-62, Jamey Gelhar sank two free throws to put the Saints up by one. Beth Christensen then hit a layup to give the Falcons the one point advantage. The Saints again regained the lead on a jumper by Amber Harmon with three seconds left. The Falcons called a timeout to set up one last play. With the clock quickly winding down Christensen threw up a desperation three that rolled in as time expired giving the Falcons the win. The Saints had four players in double figures. Jamey Gelhar scored 14 points going 4-4 from the free throw line and 2-2 from the three. Amber Harmon had 12 points and was 5-6 from the line. Jessie Reome and Whitney Golob both posted 10 points on the night. The Falcons’ Autumn Fielding had a game high 19 points. Jackie Hollands added 11 points and Kelsey Hill pulled down 10 boards. The Saints’ next game is this Saturday as they take on Northwest Nazarene at the SMU Pavilion.
