HUNTSVILLE, Ala.-Despite squandering a 14-point second-half lead, the Christian Brothers University Lady Bucs rallied for a 53-50 overtime win at Alabama-Huntsville Thursday night to keep their Gulf South Conference Tournament hopes alive.

The Lady Bucs (8-18, 6-14 GSC) took control with an 11-0 run early, capped by a Madison Luckett (Memphis, Tenn./St. Benedict HS) triple that gave them an 11-2 lead with 12 minutes remaining in the first half, and they never allowed UAH (11-15, 8-12) closer than four points in the opening half. CBU stretched its lead to 31-17 with 17:54 remaining in the game when Erin Wilson (Memphis, Tenn./Overton HS) capped a 7-0 burst with a jumper.

UAH answered with a 17-1 run to regain the lead on an Alysse Bishop three-pointer with 10:01 remaining in the half, giving UAH a 36-34 edge, and neither team would lead by more than four points again in regulation, with the game going to overtime tied at 45.

CBU never trailed in overtime, opening it with a 6-1 burst capped by a pair of Luckett free throws that gave them a 51-46 lead with 3:17 remaining. UAH scored four straight to close within 51-50 on two Shannon Steinert free throws with 1:03 to play, but CBU shut the Lady Chargers out on their last two possessions and Breanna Ridgell (Memphis, Tenn./White Station HS) sank two free throws to set the final margin.

Pugh scored a game-high 16 points, adding nine rebounds and four blocks, while Luckett scored 14, knocking down a career-high four three-pointers. Ridgell scored 10, bringing her career total to 1,497 points, nine behind the school record set by head coach Sarah Condra (1999-04).

The Lady Bucs shot 43.8 percent (21-of-48) for the game while holding UAH to 34.0 percent (18-of-53). UAH out-rebounded the Lady Bucs 41-25, including a 13-2 edge in offensive boards, but the Lady Bucs forced 20 UAH turnovers while committing 17.
