Box Score MAYFIELD, Ky. - The Trevecca women's basketball team (7-14, 3-6 TranSouth) suffered its fifth straight setback Tuesday night, falling 75-72 in double overtime to Mid-Continent University (8-14, 3-6) at Mayfield High School. The win gives the Cougars a season sweep against the Trojans.

"The girls are really hurting from this one," said Trevecca Head Coach Gary Van Atta. "They know what to do, and they want to make plays, and they don't want to make mistakes and miss shots, so they really hurt when they're not successful."

Anna Mitchell and Rachel Raby each posted a double-double, Mitchell with 22 points and 14 rebounds and Raby with 21 points and 13 rebounds, but the Cougars' Chantiera Johnson was dominant down the stretch for Mid-Continent, finishing with 33 points, 15 rebounds, and five steals.

Trevecca scored the game's first six points, before MCU answered with a 14-2 run to take a 14-8 lead less than eight minutes into the contest. A 17-4 spurt by the Trojans, capped by a bucket by Anissa Ragland, made it 25-18 with 6:07 left in the half. The lead was up to eight points (29-21) after Raby scored with 1:35 on the clock, but back-to-back baskets by Mid-Continent's Shanice Martin in the final minute cut the Trojan lead to 29-25 at the break.

The Trojans continued to maintain the advantage well into the second half, until a pair of free throws by Breona Houston gave the Cougars a 44-43 lead with 10:08 remaining in the game. From there, the game went back and forth, with four lead changes and neither team leading by more than four points the rest of the way. Trevecca trailed 59-56 late in regulation, when Raby scored to make it a one-point game. After the teams traded misses, Mitchell was fouled after an offensive rebound and made 1-of-2 from the line to tie the game at 59 with 51 seconds left. Martin missed for the Cougars and Kayla Biles missed for the Trojans, and the game went to overtime.

In the first extra period, the Trojans scored the first five points, and still led 64-59 with under a minute to play. After a Mid-Continent timeout, Asia Grigsby drained a 30-foot three-pointer to make it a two-point game (64-62) with 56 seconds left. The Trojans were unable to answer at the other end, and a pair of free throws by Johnson tied the game, forcing a second overtime.

The lead changed hands three times in the second extra period, before the Cougars took the lead for good at 70-69 on a free throw by Johnson with 2:24 to play. Trevecca still had a chance with 17 seconds left, but the Trojans were unable to get a good look at a three-pointer that could have tied the game before the final buzzer.

The Trojans shot 33% (26-78) from the floor, 15% (2-13) from three-point range, and 62% (18-29) from the free throw line. Mid-Continent shot 27% (25-92) from the field, 22% (5-23) from beyond the arc, and 65% (20-31) from the charity stripe. The Cougars had a 66-64 advantage on the boards, including 30-21 on the offensive glass.

Anissa Ragland also had a solid game for Trevecca, finishing with 16 points, eight rebounds, and four blocked shots. Martin finished with 11 points, nine rebounds, and five assists for Mid-Continent, and Houston grabbed a game-high 18 rebounds, 10 on the offensive end.

"This team doesn't make excuses, despite the fact that they've had to deal with more things happening to them than any team I've coached in my 30 years doing this," added Van Atta. "They continue to battle and work hard, and I know something good is going to happen for them, I just hope it's soon."

The Trojans will be back home Saturday for a matchup with Blue Mountain College (3-16, 0-8 TranSouth) at 2 p.m. in the Trojan Fieldhouse. Trevecca won the teams' earlier meeting this season, 84-62 on January 7 in Blue Mountain, Miss.
