UMES Lady Hawks outlasts Kent State in O.T.

PRINCESS ANNE, Md. - Tiffany Reid returned to action today against the Kent State University (KSU) Golden Flashes and poured in 19 points, on 7-15 shooting to lead the University of Maryland Eastern Shore (UMES) Lady Hawks to an overtime win, 76-71.

Reid, who had missed the last two games with a head injury sustained at Syracuse, looked to be her old self, knocking down two three pointers, going a perfect 3-3 from the free throw line and tallying three blocked shots and three assists for an overall solid performance.

"Effort overcame free throw shooting tonight," said Head Coach Fred Batchelor. "We missed some big ones but we kept pushing it and came away with the win." Ironically it was McBride, hurt in the overtime period, which made only one of two at the end of regulation with fewer than 10 seconds left that tied the game at 67 instead of giving the Hawks the lead. In the final three minutes Morton and Jessica Ayilola both missed two free throws that would have given UMES a lead.
