Wagner's Clutch Free Throws Gives WMU First Win of the Season

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio – The Western Michigan women's basketball team picked up its first win of the 2023-24 season at Youngstown State on Thursday night.

After a three-pointer by YSU's Paige Shy tied the game up at 52-52 with 1:24 left in the fourth quarter, the teams traded possessions until Hannah Spitzley grabbed a defensive rebound and the Broncos called timeout with 24.7 seconds to play. Megan Wagner got the ball on the in-bound and held it to run some clock down. Wagner cycled the ball and ended up with it on the center-left edge of the three-point line and drove the lane for a layup, getting fouled with 3.
