Women's basketball wins another thriller in OT

DeKALB — After being down big in the first quarter, women’s basketball won its second straight overtime victory, defeating the Miami University–Ohio RedHawks 86-84.

Redshirt senior forward Courtney Woods led the Huskies with a double-double, finishing with 20 points and 10 rebounds. Woods hit the game-winning shot in overtime to give the Huskies its third win in four games.

It was a true team effort for the Huskies as five players scored double digit points, while the team shot 46.8% from the field.

“We’re trying to get [the ball to] Courtney as much [as possible], everybody knows that and the beauty of that is it really takes attention away sometimes from other players,” Head Coach Lisa Carlsen said.
