Box Score
Southwestern University led most of the game against Colorado
College, but two turnovers late in the contest cost the Pirates the
victory in their final game of the 2008-2009 season.
The Pirates led the entire second half until a pair of
free-throws by Colorado's Melanie Auguste gave the Tigers the lead,
57-56, with three minutes to play. Southwestern tied the game again
on the following play on a free-throw by junior guard Narisa Trammell
and then went up by one on a jumper by sophomore forward Staley Mullins.
Auguste made a jumper of her own to regain the lead for Colorado
and after an SU turnover, the Pirates were forced to foul and
Colorado took advantage, draining both free throws. Southwestern
got a good look at their end of the floor, but couldn't connect.
Sophomore guard Jennifer Tindle
led the way for Southwestern, scoring 18 points on 7 of 11 shooting
from the field and 4-6 from the charity stripe. Senior forward Natasha Azizi
chipped in 12 points in her final game as a Pirate. She also led
the team with seven rebounds and a season high six assists.
Mullins had five blocks in the game to move her season total to
71. This places her tied for seventh with Trinity's Krista Prato
Matthews (2007-2008) in the SCAC women's single season basketball
records book.
The Pirates end the season 6-19 overall and 2-13 in conference
action.
