HOUSTON – This team knows drama.
For the second time in three games, Southeast Missouri won a game on its final possession, coming back from a 12-point second-half deficit to defeat Texas-Pan American 55-54 on Saturday morning.
Jordan Hunter's basket with six seconds remaining capped a furious comeback by the Redhawks, who split their stay at the David Jones Classic and improve to 3-3 on the season.
“With as young as this basketball team is and playing only one home game, it's a good thing to be .500 through six games,” Southeast head coach Ty Margenthaler said. “We showed a lot of toughness coming back from that deficit, especially given we were playing on consecutive days.”
UTPA scored the first seven points of the game as Southeast went over seven minutes without a point. Patricia Mack hit a three-pointer from the top of the key with 12:17 left for the first Redhawk points, cutting the Broncs lead to 7-3.
After the Broncs grabbed a 12-3 lead, the Redhawks responded with a 10-3 spurt. Bailie Roberts hit a jumper to start the rally and then Olivia Hackmann hit a free throw and a jump shot. Jordan Hunter cut the gap to 15-11 with a three-pointer from the wing. Hackmann got to the basket for a layup to make it a 15-13 game with seven and half minutes remaining in the opening stanza.
Franchesca Simon ended the run with a three-pointer and UTPA went up 20-15 on its next possession. A Roberts layup followed by two Mack free throws brought Southeast to within a point at 20-19.
The next run went to the Broncs, this one an 11-2 rally that put them up 31-21 with 1:29 to go. UTPA took a 35-25 lead into halftime.
After falling behind by 12 (37-25) in the first minute of the second half, Southeast got a three-pointer from Allyson Bradshaw and a Mack jumper that brought it within seven points at 37-30.
A Bianca Torre three-pointer extended the Broncs' lead back to 10 points at 42-32 with 16:56 to play. The next three minutes featured only two points by both teams, putting the score at 44-34 with 13:33 left.
After the Redhawks pulled within five points, a Ce'Monay Newell three-pointer upped the Broncs up 49-41 with 6:32 showing on the clock. From there Southeast embarked on a 10-2 run. Courtney Shiffer's free throw started it up and Roberts cut the lead down to five with a layup. The Redhawks followed with a defensive stop and Hunter nailed a three-pointer to bring the score to 49-47, the closest it had been since the first half.
Cassandra Moody hit a jumper to make it a four-point game, but Hackmann followed with back-to-back jumpers that tied the game at 51 apiece, the first tie of the game. The freshman followed that up by splitting a pair of free throws, giving the Redhawks their first lead of the game at 52-51 with 1:15 left.
UTPA's Franchesca Simon hit a jumper in the paint on the ensuing possession put the Broncs back in front, but Roberts hit a free throw to tie the contest at 53 apiece.
On the next Broncs possession, Jasmine Thompson got fouled on a drive and split two free throws, making it 54-53 with 24 seconds on the clock, setting up a dramatic finish.
After a Southeast timeout, Hunter drove to the basket on the left side and hoisted a shot up from the baseline just outside the paint that rolled into the basket with six seconds remaining. KaeLynn Boyd went the other way looking to give UTPA the win, but her three-pointer was off the mark and the Redhawks secured a one-point victory.
“We executed the same play that we did on Monday night with Jordan driving to the basket,” Margenthaler said. “She did a got job getting to the basket under control and made a big shot again.”
Southeeast shot 33.3 percent from the floor and 4-of-16 (25 percent) from beyond the arc. UTPA followed with 34.9 percent shooting and a 6-of-19 (31.6 percent) three-point mark. Southeast made 11-of-20 (55.0 percent) free throws and UTPA hit 4-of-6 (66.7 percent) at the foul line. The Redhawks owned a 48-39 advantage in rebounding. Turnovers were nearly even as Southeast committed 16 turnovers and UTPA had 15 miscues.
Three Redhawks scored in double figures, led by Mack's 11 points. Hunter and Hackmann each scored 10. Connor King pulled down a team-high 10 rebounds while Roberts tied her career high with four assists.
The Redhawks are off until Nov. 29 when they travel to Missouri.
