Women's Basketball Drops Opener on Late Free Throws

Box Score

The Muhlenberg women's basketball team fell at home to Moravian, 61-60, in its season opener.

Muhlenberg started 0-for-13 from the field and fell behind 12-2 but clawed back into the game and went up by as many as 15 early in the second half before hitting another dry spell.

The score was tied at 59 before sophomore Maggie Zerbe made one of two free throws with 37.1 seconds left.

It was still 60-59 when Moravian took a timeout with 5.2 seconds left. The Mules appeared to have the win when junior Christina Santone blocked a layup attempt, but the ball came out to the wing and a Greyhound shooter was fouled while attempting a three-pointer as the buzzer sounded.

The officials put three-tenths of a second back on the clock. Moravian missed the first free throw but made the second and third, and Muhlenberg could not get a shot off.

Santone finished with 10 points and 11 rebounds for her first career double-double, and senior Leanna Tallamy also recorded a double-double (11 points, 14 rebounds). Zerbe, who scored a total of four points last year, had career highs of seven points and 12 rebounds. Sophomore Michelle Poole also flirted with a double-double, scoring a career-high nine points and pulling down eight rebounds.
