Bisons win thriller in OT versus Austin Peay

by | Nov 19, 2010 | Sports

No one knew for sure when the game would end. However, when it finally did, the Bisons were victorious. In the 67th meeting between the two teams, the Bisons were able to squeeze out a 104-101 victory against Austin Peay State University. It did not come easily, though. The game was tied 11 different times, and the largest lead by any team was nine points. That lead was part of an early first-half run by the Bisons. The largest APSU lead was seven. The Governors held a steady lead for most of the second half with a few ties here and there, but the Bisons could never get on top and steal the momentum away from them. That all changed when APSU missed two consecutive free throws with under seven seconds left, followed by senior Josh Slater taking the ball from one end of the court to the other for a game-tying layup. The score at the end of regulation was 87-87. Those 87 points were the most allowed by Lipscomb this season, and Coach Scott Sanderson let his players know that. “Obviously we needed to get a stop,” senior center Adnan Hodzic said. “They are a great team with great forwards that can penetrate, and we just had to get one stop and the game was ours.” The Bisons got that stop. An early miss by Austin Peay let the Bisons take an early lead when Hodzic scored the first points of overtime. Hodzic went on to score six more in OT to lead the Bisons to the win. “I am just playing my role,” Hodzic said. “I have told...

MACON, Ga. – Following a perfect run through the Atlantic Sun Conference volleyball season for the second-straight season, the Lipscomb Lady Bisons place two student-athletes on the A-Sun All-Conference First Team as the league’s coaches tabbed Stefine “Jake” Pease and Alex Kelly as unanimous selections to the team. Pease picked up Player of the Year honors, an award that Kelly earned the past two seasons. Kelly became only the fourth in A-Sun history to earn First-Team honors all four years, and the first since Belmont’s Colleen Nilson (2004-07).  Lipscomb became the third A-Sun school to produce three straight Players of the Year, joining UCF, whose Emily Queisser, Renata Menchikova  and Tyra Harper won from 1995 through 1997 and Florida A&M, whose Kim Funchess won the award in 1986, 1987 and 1988. Kennesaw State’s Karen Weatherington grabbed the Coach of the Year honor after guiding the Owls to a 9-1 conference mark and the second seed in the A-Sun Championship later this week. During the season, she guided the Owls to a program-best eight game win streak during the regular season and has already matched last year’s win count, 17, enter the A-Sun Championship Sabrita Gulley joined Pease and Kelly on the first team as the senior outside hitter totaled 367 kills with a .279 hitting percentage, ninth in the conference. Two other outside hitters accompanied Gulley as Belmont’s Kayla Albritton and Jacksonville’ Aidan Yeager earned nods for their season performances. Albritton ranked second in the league in service aces with 46 along with her 386 kills, while Yeager totaled 331.5 points mostly coming from her 259 kills and 30 service...
