Box Score

HAMMOND, La. - The Lady Colonels played a well-fought battle Saturday afternoon in Hammond, but could not outlast McNeese, dropping a 67-64 overtime decision in the final game of the 2007-08 season.

Nicholls held a 31-20 halftime advantage and led through most of the second frame. But the Cowgirls used last-minute free throws to tie the game at 61 at the end of regulation and force OT.

McNeese quickly fell behind in extra time as Nicholls poured in three-straight points, but that was all the scoring the Lady Colonels would do.

Nicholls finishes the 2007-08 campaign at 6-21 (4-12 SLC).

Due to computer problems at McNeese, statistics for the game are currently unavailable.
