NEW WILMINGTON, PA (February 5, 2011) . . . The Chatham University women's basketball team earned their second straight Presidents' Athletic Conference (PAC) victory today on the road at Westminster College (PA) when Felicia Brown (Temple Hills, MD/Friendly) hit a baseline jumper as time expired in regulation to give the Cougars the 57-55 victory.
Lizz King (Cabot, PA/Knoch) finished with a game-high 19 points today and 15 of these points came from behind the three-point arc. Teammate Kayla Hilko (North Huntingdon, PA/Norwin) also finished in double figures today with 14 points on 5-12 field goal shooting.
The Cougars trailed by eight at the break, and were down 14 points with just under 15 minutes left to play but outscored the Titans by 10 in the second half, including Brown's 17-foot put-back jumper to win the game at the buzzer.
This is the first ever win for Chatham at Westminster and completes the season sweep for the Cougars over the Titans.
