Box Score NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Rachel Bollinger's three-pointer with 4.5 seconds left gave the Trevecca women's basketball team (7-9, 3-1 TranSouth) a 49-47 win over Cumberland (4-10, 1-3) Saturday afternoon at the Trojan Fieldhouse. The win is the Trojans' third straight, and they now have a 22-10 lead in the overall series with the Bulldogs.

"I'm just so proud of this team," said Head Coach Gary Van Atta. "It certainly wasn't a pretty game, but our team just continued to scratch and claw and found a way to win."

The first half was a series of runs for both teams. After Trevecca took a 2-0 lead on a bucket by Anna Mitchell, the Bulldogs scored nine unanswered points to take a 9-2 lead with 12:42 left in the half. Back-to-back three-pointers by Haley Felker ignited a 12-0 spurt by the Trojans, capped by Anissa Ragland's bucket with 7:31 left to make it 14 -9. Casie Cowan answered for Cumberland, draining a pair of threes as part of an 8-0 run to give the Bulldogs a 17-14 advantage 5:21 from halftime. A three-pointer by Mitchell tied it, but Cumberland scored the final four points of the half to take a 21-17 lead into the locker room.

The second half was a much more back-and-forth affair with neither team leading by more than five points. When Lauren Wasson drilled a three with 11:01 to play, the Trojans led 35-30 and seemed to have the momentum. But back-to-back buckets by Cowan and Courtney Atkinson cut the Bulldogs' deficit to one. Cumberland eventually regained the lead, pushing it to 44-40 with 4:17 left on another three by Cowan, who was 5-of-8 from beyond the arc and finished with a game-high 19 points. A pair of free throws by Kayla Biles and a bucket by Felker tied the game at 44 with 2:52 left, but Tamara Gonzalez answered with a three-pointer :27 later to give Cumberland a 47-44 lead with 2:25 to play. The Bulldogs would not score again. Wasson made a pair of free throws to pull the Trojans within one point (47-46) with :45 seconds and, following a timeout, Cumberland turned the ball over with :19 left, setting up Bollinger's heroics. After a Trevecca timeout, Felker found Bollinger wide open on the right wing, and the sophomore guard put a charge into the Trojan Fieldhouse crowd by burying the shot to give the Trojans the win.

"We got contributions from everyone today," added Van Atta. "And that's the way we need it be if we're going to be successful. Every player stepped up at different times and made plays at big times, and Anissa was solid all day for us."

Anissa Ragland led the Trojans with 12 points, 10 rebounds, and three blocks. Felker added eight points, while Biles and Rachel Raby added six points apiece, with Raby chipping in eight rebounds. Bollinger finished with five points, seven rebounds, and two assists.

Trevecca shot 32% (18-56) from the field, 26% (5-19) from three-point range, and 67% (8-12) from the free throw line. Cumberland shot 32% (18-57) from the floor, 44% (7-16) from beyond the arc, and 50% (4-8) from the charity stripe.

"It's always a tough challenge when Trevecca and Cumberland get together," added Van Atta. "So we're glad to get this one, and now we've got another big challenge in front of us. Freed always poses a big challenge, and this year will be no different."

The Trojans will host No. 3 Freed-Hardeman (15-2, 3-0) Monday night at 6 p.m. The Lady Lions knocked off No. 2 Union 66-54 Saturday afternoon.
