Heartbreaker On Senior Day As Lewis Wins In Overtime 90-87

KIRKSVILLE, Mo. - Kathryn Schmidt's deep left wing three-pointer in overtime rallied the Lewis Flyers from 19 points down to defeat the Truman State women 90-87 in overtime. 

Schmidt scored 28 second half points and 30 for the game as Lewis trailed by 19 points twice in the second quarter.

The Bulldogs raced out early using an assault from outside. At one point, Truman had a 10-1 advantage from outside and Hannah Belanger had 19 first half points and became the Bulldogs career three-point leader with five in the first 20 minutes.

Lewis turned the tide by hammering the ball down low and had a 15-5 turnover advantage. Lewis scored 44 points in the paint and turned the 15 turnovers into 16 points.

With the Flyers up 79-77, Gracie Stugart sent the game to overtime with a running layup with 10.6 seconds left. 

Hannah Pinkston had the early hot hand for Truman in the extra period as she scored eight points and had two triples that kept the game tied down the stretch. 

The Flyers got an offensive rebound to play for the last shot and it worked out perfectly. 

Lewis worked the ball around the arc before finding Schmidt on the baseline as she swished the winning shot.

Belanger finished with 24, Pinkston 19, Ellie Weltha 14 and 12 rebounds and Claire Rake with 12, nine coming in the first quarter. 

The teams split their season series.

Truman returns to action on Saturday at rival Quincy.
