Ekworomadu's three leads Lady Bobcats to improbable win over PVAMU Panthers

SAN MARCOS – Joyce Ekworomadu dribbled right, pulled up and shot a fadeaway three pointer just over a Prairie View A&M defender that rattled in with 1.4 seconds left to give Texas State an 84-83 win over the Lady Panthers and send the Bobcats into the second round of the WNIT.

The win marks the first-ever postseason win for either Texas State men’s or women’s basketball since the Bobcats moved to NCAA Division I prior to the 1987-88 season. It is also the first time a Southland Conference school has won a WNIT game since Northwestern State advanced to the WNIT championship game in 1995.
