STATESBORO, Ga. – Monroe native Daja Chase’s runner with less than a second left gave ULM a dramatic 50-49 win at Georgia Southern on Saturday afternoon. The Warhawks trailed 43-36 with seven minutes left.
“I mean, my junior year [Ouachita Parish High School] I had a three-pointer in Texas with five seconds to go that tied it up,” Chase said regarding her previous most memorable shot. “We just stayed positive today, pulled it together and got the win.”
Chase, the hero, also had an unsung moment just 14 seconds before, blocking an Eagle three-point attempt that could have iced the game.
