THE LAST TIME OUT
Tarleton needed every single second of the clock to complete a second-half comeback over league rival, Cameron, Saturday afternoon and
McKinley Bostad used the final 1.17 seconds to lift the TexAnns to a 69-67 victory. In a tie game with just under 10 seconds left, Tarleton forced a miss from Cameron and
Lucy Benson pulled down the defensive rebound that allowed
Misty Wilson to call a timeout with 1.17 seconds left on the clock. Out of the break, Wilson sent her five TexAnns back on the court with
Katie Webster set to throw the ball inbounds. The senior from Rockwall dropped a dime on the backside of the Cameron defense where
McKinley Bostad was waiting for a catch-and-shoot. Bostad banked it home off the glass as the buzzer sounded to lift Tarleton to its 16th win of the season.
