West Chester Drops Overtime Thriller At Cal, 79-73

Box Score

CALIFORNIA, Pa. – Brittany Sicinski (Downingtown, Pa./Downingtown West) tied a career high with 27 points, but it was not enough as West Chester dropped a 79-73 overtime decision to host California (Pa.) inside the Convocation Center Wednesday evening.
 
West Chester (8-5, 5-4 PSAC) forced the overtime period with a frantic 22-7 run in the fourth quarter that erased a 15-point deficit. The Golden Rams held a three-point lead (65-62) late. However, Cal (9-3, 7-2) got a 3-pointer from Miki Glenn with 6.9 seconds remaining in regulation to send the game into OT.
 
The Vulcans outscored the Golden Rams, 14-8, over the 5-minute extra session to move to 21-3 all-time against West Chester. The visitors still forced the overtime despite a dismal 1-for-14 effort from 3-point range.
 
Dallas Ely (Montrose, Pa./Montrose) scored 15 points on the night and was the only other Golden Rams player in double figures. Anna Kuntz (Camp Hill, Pa./Trinity) led West Chester with 11 rebounds.
 
Ironically, Sicinski has scored 27 points in a game three times now in her four-year career. Two of those three opponents have been the Cal Vulcans. Sicinski put up 27 against the Vulcans in 2013 and also posted 27 against USciences a year ago.
 
Cal's Seairra Barrett registered a double-double with 21 points and 17 rebounds. Glenn had 18 points and 12 caroms. Shatara Parsons recorded 15 points and 13 rebounds.
 
West Chester returns home on Saturday to face East Stroudsburg at 2 p.m. in a PSAC East showdown inside Hollinger Field House.
