The St. Thomas women’s basketball team kept its strong run going Wednesday by pulling out a 73-71 win against Kansas City at Lee & Penny Anderson Arena in St. Paul.
The Tommies (15-14, 8-7 Summit) won for the fifth time in six games and second straight by coming up clutch late.
Kansas City (7-22, 4-12) led 70-66 with 40 second remaining. St. Thomas’s Alyssa Sand hit a pair of free throws to draw within two points. Tierra Trotter made one of two free throws for a three-point Kansas City advantage with 20 seconds left. From there, it was all Tommies.
Faith Feuerbach converted a layup with 11 seconds left for St. Thomas. Then, Tommies forward Autumn McCall had a steal and assisted to Jada Hood for a layup. Hood was fouled and added a free throw for the final margin.
Sand had 23 points to lead St. Thomas. Mikalya Werner had 22 points and a team-high 10 rebounds. Savahhan McGowan added 10 points off the bench.
