Freshman Eddie Muench sank a three-point shot at the buzzer to give Rockhurst a thrilling 89-87 victory in overtime over Washburn on Saturday at RU's Mason-Halpin Field House.

Muench got his shot off from 22 feet out from the left side with less than one second on the clock after receiving a pass from Undra Wilson.

The Hawks led the entire overtime period until Washburn's Javion Blake scored a four-point play with four seconds left to give the Ichabods an 87-86 lead.

Rockhurst battled back from a 54-36 deficit in the second half to take a lead 70-69 lead with 45 seconds left. Down nine with four minutes left, the Hawks went on a 10-0 run to take their first lead of the second half.

"I am so proud of our guys' resiliency today," said Rockhurst coach Drew Diener. "We found ourselves in a big hole in the second half and battled our way back by staying within the game plan. We had a lot of guys make great plays. It was really fun to see them battle when things were not going well; that is a sign of a winner.

"Ultimately, we made one more play than them. They have a really nice club."
