December 21, 2007 Monmouth, OR – A three-point shot by Cal Poly Pomona’s Ashley Moody with 23 seconds left to play was enough to give the Broncos the 69-66 victory over Saint Martin’s Friday night on the final day of the GNAC/CCAA Challenge at the WOU Physical Education Building. The two teams were tied for the fifth time at 66-66 when Moody hit the three. Saint Martin’s got off three shots, including a layup and two threes, but was unable to connect on any of them as time ran out. The first half remained close as the Broncos never built more than an eight point lead and held the 34-27 advantage going into the break. The Saints would string together an 8-2 run to pull within one to start the second half but CSUPP would again take an eight point lead with 12 minutes to go. SMU battled back never letting the Broncos go up by more then four the rest of the way. With a minute and a half to go Michelle Short put Saint Martin’s up by three sinking two from the line and hitting a jumper but a layup and made free throw by Vanessa Dominguez would tie the game and the Broncos were able to put it away. Kassie Ludeman led the Saints with a game-high 22 points and nine rebounds. Michelle Short and Amber Harmon added 11 points each with Short tallying three steals. The Saints, now 7-2, will kick-off conference play on January 3rd as they take on Seattle Pacific in the first game of a doubleheader at the SMU Pavilion at 5:30 p.m.
