RECAP: Truman Keeps Streak Alive With Overtime Win Over Winona State

Box Score (HTML)
 
QUINCY, Ill. – It took a last second shot to tie and five extra minutes for the Truman Women's Basketball team to win their fifth straight and the Quincy Subway Tip-Off Classic championship on Saturday. The Bulldogs won in overtime 59-56 over Winona (Minn.) State.
 
Truman jumped out early 14-4 on the Warriors. Winona chipped away at the lead and eventually tied the game at 28 apiece with 6:58 to go in the third quarter. The Bulldogs went ice cold from distance after starting 2-of-5. Truman missed 12 straight three-point attempts until Brooke Bailey tied the game at 46-all with 6:25 left in the fourth.
 
A pair of free throws by Gabie Doud gave the Warriors a two-point lead with 3:13 to play. Both teams had empty possessions with Truman missing three more three-pointers and a jumper and Winona having two turnovers, a missed inside shot and a missed shot from distance.
 
After a timeout, Katie Jaseckas tied the game at 50 with six seconds left to break the drought. Winona called a TO and advanced the ball and Doud was fouled by Jaseckas with three seconds to go and made both throws for the lead.
 
Likewise, Truman advanced the ball after a timeout and it was Bailey that found Maddie Re under the hoop for a layup with one second left to knot the game at 52 and send it into overtime.
 
Winona missed their first shot in the extra time and Jaseckas broke a 1-for-17 streak and buried a three-pointer from Sloane Totta to put Truman up. She would add another basket to extend the lead out to five points.
 
Julia Silloway cut the cords from range with 2:07 left to trim the lead back to two points and both teams again missed chances in the waning minutes.
 
Rachel Novotny made the first of two free throw attempts but missed the second with 18 seconds left and Totta knocked both of hers down after being fouled with 12 ticks to put Truman up by three. Allie Pickrain's tying shot was blocked away by Re to preserve the Bulldog win.
 
Jaseckas led Truman with 15 points on 6-of-8 shooting from the floor. She was joined in double-figures by Allison Thomas with 13 and Bailey with 10. Truman was 4-of-25 from three for the game.
 
Winona might have had a slightly better percentage from three but only because they took one less shot. The Warriors were 4-of-24 for the game. Doud led all scorers with 17 points.
 
Bailey was named the classic's most valuable player after averaging 13 points and adding four assists and four steals during the two games. Jaseckas was also named to the all-tournament team.
 
It was the first overtime since February 19, 2015 when Truman won 78-72 at Maryville (Mo.).
 
The Bulldogs will head to Springfield, Missouri next weekend for two more Division II games. They will face Davenport (Mich.) on Friday and future-GLVC member Lindenwood on Saturday. Both games tip around 7:45 p.m.
