Box Score

Box score

DOVER, Del. - Cory Boyd hit two free throws with 12 seconds remaining to give Wesley a two-point lead and then sealed the Wolverines' 59-58 overtime victory over Stevenson on Monday at Wentworth Gymnasium with a steal with just one second left.

After Boyd broke a 57-57 tie and gave Wesley (9-6, 4-3 CAC) a two-point lead with 12 seconds remaining in overtime, the Wolverines' Angie Owens fouled Stevenson freshman guard Vanessa Rice (Oxon Hill/National Christian Academy) with six seconds to play.

Rice hit the first of two free throw attempts, but missed the second before sophomore forward Daniela Poss (Brookeville/Good Counsel) grabbed the rebound and the Mustangs called a timeout to set up for the last shot.

However, following the timeout, Mustang junior guard JaQuelia Conley (Columbia/Montrose Christian) drove baseline looking to create space for a shot at a game-winner, but Boyd came up with the steal with one second left to preserve Wesley's win streak and extend it to six.

The loss marked the first overtime game for Stevenson (4-10, 2-5 CAC) since Jan. 12, 2005 when they team won a 58-57 decision at home versus D'Youville. The Mustangs are 2-2 all-time in overtime games.

Stevenson forced overtime after a three-pointer by freshman forward Rayshell Parker (Fort Meade/Meade) with five seconds remaining in regulation capped a 5-0 run by the Mustangs in the final 42 seconds.

Wednesday's game featured 13 ties and 15 lead changes and neither team led by more than five.

The Mustangs committed 29 turnovers in the game which led to 27 points for the Wolverines, including 15 in the second half where Wesley made just 10-of-30 attempts from the floor, including 1-of-9 from three-point range.

Conley led Stevenson with 15 points despite shooting 5-of-23 from the floor and 1-of-10 from three-point range. Parker finished with her first career double double with 11 points and 15 rebounds, both career-highs, and junior forward Kristen Steiner (Fallston/Fallston) added eight points and season-high 16 rebounds, four shy of her career-high.

Rice also had 11 points for the Mustangs.

Jazmine Miller had a game-high 21 points for the Wolverines while Owens and Allison Beddia added 16 and 13, respectively. Only two other players scored for Wesley.

Stevenson returns home to face Salisbury on Wednesday. Game time is at 5:00 p.m.
