CHARLOTTE, North Carolina - The Fayetteville State women achieved two of the major goals set by Coach Eva Patterson-Heath this season by doubling their win total from a year ago and finishing higher than predicted in the preseason league poll. But the Broncos fell just shy of achieving a third and perhaps most important goal Tuesday.FSU let a 14-point second-half advantage slip away and gave up a last-second shot that got them ousted in the first round of the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association Tournament for a second straight year.
Ransheda Jennings got behind the FSU defense to sink a layup with 1.6 seconds left to lift Chowan to a 51-50 triumph at Time Warner Cable Arena. The shot completed a comeback that saw the Hawks, a No. 5 seed from the CIAA's Northern Division, knock off the South Division's No. 4 seeded Broncos.
The Hawks (11-16) will face the Northern Division's top seed, Virginia Union, in the second round today at 1 p.m.
