A three-point basket by Keegan Sullivan with 36 seconds left in regulation helped Rockhurst rally for a 77-75 overtime victory over Indianapolis Thursday night in Mason-Halpin Field House.
A rough opening half of shooting from both teams headlined action early. UIndy went just 9-of-23 from the field (39.1 percent) in the first 20 minutes, while the Hawks shot 11-of-35 (31.4 percent). Rockhurst led by nine heading into the locker room as Allison McFarren led the Hawks in scoring with 10 points.
Rockhurst led by 10 points midway through the third quarter, but the Greyhounds rallied to put up an 8-0 scoring run shortly after to lock the game into a back-and-forth battle the remainder of the way.
In overtime, a free throw by Sullivan with 18 seconds put the Hawks up by one, with another free throw by McFarren securing the two-point lead and the victory.
McFarren finished with 20 points, three rebounds, and three assists. Molly Hummel collected her fourth double-double of the season with 16 points and 11 rebounds. Sullivan added 15 points on four-of-nine shooting and brought down eight rebounds. Macie Conway was also scored in double-digits with 12 points. Ali Kamies had a team-high three steals.
