2/21/2009 12:00:00 AM | Women's Basketball
With the Lady Mocs trailing 49-37 with 7:34 to play in the game, junior Shanara Hollinquest hit a layup to spark a 13-3 run over the next 5:18 to draw
Kaila'Shea Menendez hit a pair of free throws to put the Catamounts back up by two with less than two minutes to play and Jenaya Wade-Fray, with 13 points on the day, hit a pair from the charity stripe to cut it back to two with 1:29 to go.
After a 30 second time out, a foul by UTC's Tagan Hatchett sent Kendra Carroll to the line. On the miss, Mason grabbed the rebound and went coast-to-coast but was fouled on the layup attempt that wouldn't fall.
Mason's free throws wouldn't fall and Heather Swayne connected on a pair to put the Catamounts up 56-52 for the final score.
Swayne led the Lady Cats with 13 points and Brooke Johnson had 10 points and six boards while Menendez had 10 points as well.
Hatchett had a season-high five assists and Wade-Fray made three steals in the game and Mason had a pair of swipes.
The Lady Mocs fall a half game behind Samford for the SoCon lead and will face the Bulldogs next Saturday in
