WBB | Rathbun's Buzzer-Beater Blasts BYU on Senior Day

Abby Rathbun (55) laid in a buzzer-beating basket on Saturday to help the Dons beat BYU for the first time in two years.

SAN FRANCISCO — Abby Rathbun didn't quite know what to do. She looked around for someone — anyone — to hug.

As officials reviewed Rathbun's improbable game-winning put-back of a Mikayla Williams miss, she found head coach Molly Goodenbour, and wrapped her arms around her neck.

As Rathbun gave her postgame radio interview, she teared up. The 60-58 win over BYU — the No. 3 team in the conference — not only avenged a 13-point loss a month ago in Provo, but put an appropriate capper on Senior Day.
