From the moment her teammate Natisha Hiedeman released the ball toward the basket, sophomore guard McKayla Yentz was fairly certain about what was going to happen next.

“I knew it was going in,” Yentz said. “It was a great rotation, she’s a clutch shooter…I knew it was going in and we were going to overtime.”

It seemed as if the crowd at the Al McGuire Center was every bit as confident when the freshman Hiedeman hesitated for a fraction of a moment, then swished a three-pointer to tie the Golden Eagles with Auburn at 60 points apiece with eight seconds left in regulation.
