Colgate Loses in Overtime to Holy Cross, 60–50

Meabon notches third career double-double in loss

WORCESTER, Mass — Colgate outscored Holy Cross in the fourth quarter, 18–16, to tie the game at 45 at the end of regulation; however, the Crusaders pulled away in overtime, winning 60–50.

Ella Meabon recorded her third double-double of the season with 24 points and 12 rebounds. Grace Klag contributed a strong performance on the boards with 14 rebounds, while Madison Schiller fell one point and one rebound short of a double-double, finishing with nine points and nine rebounds.

HOW IT HAPPENED
Meabon helped send the Raiders to overtime by hitting a jumper just above the foul line off Klag's screen, tying the game at 45 with two seconds remaining.

The fourth-quarter surge was fueled by 3-pointers from Abbey Ferguson and Amarah Streiff, along with a jumper from Meabon, resulting in an 8–4 Raider run. Aside from the first quarter, Colgate outperformed Holy Cross in quarters two through four.

The first offensive burst occurred in the second quarter, when the Raiders outscored the Crusaders, 13–9. Colgate cut the deficit to one point courtesy of Meabon's 9–0 solo run, showcasing her scoring versatility from the free throw line and on jump shots, including a 3-pointer.

The Crusaders added eight points, but Schiller and Meabon each recorded a basket to cut into the six-point deficit entering halftime, as Colgate trailed 23–17.

Colgate held Holy Cross to six points in the third quarter, while scoring 10 of its own. Both teams struggled offensively late in the period, as neither scored during the final four and a half minutes. Meabon and Schiller combined for eight points, and Christina Midgette converted a jumper to bring the Raiders within one possession, trailing 29–27.

Seven of Meabon's 24 points came in the fourth quarter, as she connected on her final two shots.

In overtime, the Crusaders outperformed Colgate, securing a 60–50 victory. Holy Cross scored 15 points in the extra period, 11 of which came from the free throw line. Despite the efforts of Meabon and Schiller, the Raiders were unable to turn the tide.
