Late call goes Boise State’s way as Broncos beat Washington women, win Husky Classic

Down two points, Amber Melgoza streaked to the basket as the clock raced toward zero.

The Washington sophomore guard had Braydey Hodgins on her heels and retreating. Melgoza dipped her shoulder, powered through the Boise State guard and screamed in excitement as her shot rattled in the rim.

However, an official gave Melgoza an offensive foul — her fifth — and wiped away the game-tying basket with 12 seconds left.

At the other end, the Hodgins sank two free throws to seal a 73-69 victory that gave the Broncos the championship in the 25th edition of the Husky Classic on Sunday.
