AMHERST, Mass. — In its second consecutive down to the wire finish, Davidson fell just short again, this time on the road at Massachusetts 70-68 Saturday afternoon in Atlantic 10 women's basketball inside the Mullins Center.
Tied at 68-all, UMass' Maggie Mulligan hit a layup with 1:05 to go to break the tie and it eventually became the game-winner.
Davidson, which fell in a tough battle at home Wednesday to Saint Joseph's, missed tying it on its next possession with 36 seconds to go, but got the ball back on a defensive steal from Justine Lyon with seven ticks to go. Bringing the ball back down to their end quickly, the 'Cats though lost control near their sideline and turned it over. They were forced to foul after the Minutewomen advanced the ball out of timeout.
There was still one more chance for the Wildcats after UMass missed free throws and a defensive rebound by Sarah Donovan with 1.2 seconds left. Advancing the ball, Davidson drew up one last play and got the ball into Kianna Speight, who from the right wing fired off an off-balance three-pointer that hit the front of the rim as the horn sounded.
For the first time this year, Davidson (10-17, 5-9 A-10) had five players score in double figures. Katie Turner had the hot-hand from three-land, matching her season high for the third time with six triples on 6-of-11 shooting for 18 points.
Mackenzie Latt recorded her seventh double-double of the year on 14 points and 12 rebounds. Lyon finished with 11 points, while Speight and Donovan (eight rebounds) came off the bench for 10 points each.
The Minutewomen (12-15, 4-10 A-10) had three score in double figures, led by Hailey Leidel's 20 points. Mulligan scored 16 to go with 14 rebounds and Paige McCormick hit four three-balls on her way to 12 points. UMass hit 10 three-pointers on the day.
The game featured 14 lead changes and eight times, while both teams scored 20 points each in the paint and hit the 40-rebound mark. UMass had a slight edge on the glass, 42-40, and had 19 offensive rebounds to Davidson's 17.
Davidson fell behind by 10 points (58-48) in the third quarter, with Leidel scoring 12 points in the quarter. The 'Cats closed though with a pair of buckets from Donovan to trail just 58-52 at the end of the quarter.
The first two quarters were tightly played as neither team had a lead larger than six points. There were five lead changes and three ties combined. UMass had a 20-19 lead at the end of the first quarter, but Davidson won the second quarter, 16-14, on its way to a 35-34 halftime edge.
The 'Cats will play their final regular season road game Wednesday, Feb. 21, with a trip to La Salle for a 7 p.m. game.
GAME NOTES: This was the sixth meeting all-time between both teams … UMass leads 4-2, snapping the Wildcats' two-game win streak in the series … Davidson reached the 40-rebound mark for the 12th time this year … Justine Lyon has scored in double figures in 44 of her the last 48 games overall dating back to last season … Lyon is closing in on 1,000 career points, needing eight more to hit the mark … Mackenzie Latt's double-double was the 26th of her career, fourth-most since the program was restarted in 1992-93 … Katie Turner's six triples gave her 66 on the season, tied for second-most in a Wildcat single season and just eight away from tying the record … Saadia Timpton dished out five assists and Davidson had 17 as a team, its 22nd double-figure assist game of the season ... Ally Welling blocked a career-high four shots, which was a team season high.
