Bulldogs Fall To Missouri-St. Louis By One

ST. LOUIS - Missouri-St. Louis' Jalysa Stokes knocked down a pair of free throws with 38 seconds left to break a 57-all tie and the Tritons held on for a 61-60 win over the Truman State women on Saturday afternoon.

The Bulldogs led 32-30 at the break and had a nine point lead with 2:53 left in the third quarter up 42-33. Their last lead was heading into the fourth quarter media timeout at the 4:09 mark at 51-50 but was erased on free throws by Brooke Woodyard. Stokes followed later with a jumper to make it 54-51 with under three left to play however Truman State fought back and knotted the score at 57 on free throws by Ainsley Tolson with 50 seconds showing.

Stokes later made just one of two at the stripe with 25 seconds left to keep it a one-possession game at 60-57. The Bulldogs appeared content to play for a tie as the clock milked down toward zero. The ball eventually ended up in Claire Rake's hands and she launched a three-pointer near the buzzer but was incredulously fouled by Stokes on the shot attempt.

A lengthily video review took place to determine how much time to put back on the game clock before the three attempts to tie the game occurred. After deciding on 1.3, Rake missed the first two attempts but saw the third go in. UMSL called timeout for advancement and on their in-bounds play, Morgan Ramthun was fouled. Another delay to check the clock resulted in Ramthum missing the first attempt but hitting the second to keep it only three-point game. The Bulldogs called timeout for advancement and the in-bounds play for a potential tie was a pass to Ellie Weltha for a layup as time expired.

Tolson led four Bulldogs in double figures with 13 points and hit all 11 of her free throw attempts. Rake finished with 12, Weltha 11 and Maddie Niemeier scored 10, connecting on all five of her field goal attempts.

Stokes led all scorers with 27 points and Ramthun added 10.

The Bulldogs dip to 0-6 in GLVC action and will try to get on the winning side in league play when they head to Quincy (Ill.) University on Thursday night.
