Texas State’s leads were erased in a blink, resulting in a pair of losses over the weekend.
The Bobcats led by five with just 27 seconds remaining in their road game at UT Arlington on Thursday. Mavericks senior forward Katie Ferrell shot a 3-pointer from the left wing that caromed high off the rim toward the baseline. Texas State redshirt junior forward Lauryn Thompson got to the board, but threw it behind her to avoid stepping out of bounds. UTA senior guard Terryn Milton got to it and kicked it back out to Ferrell, who knocked down the trey to make it a one-score game with 11 seconds left.
The Mavericks intentionally fouled three consecutive times to send Texas State into the bonus. Senior forward Da’Nasia Hood went 1-2 at the line to go up 67-64. UTA called timeout to advance the ball, then found senior guard De’Sha Benjamin wide open on the right wing, who canned another triple to knot the game up.
