Blossoms Lose Overtime Thriller to Christian Brothers
February 28, 2008

MONTICELLO – Christian Brother’s Kat Butler scored 12 of the CBU 14 points in overtime to lead the Lady Bucs over the University of Arkansas at Monticello Cotton Blossoms by a final score of 64-56 at home.

 

Christian Brothers scored 26 points in the first half, while the Blossoms scored 24. Those numbers reversed in the second half to send the game into an extra period.

 

From there, Bulter took over with two three-pointers in the first two minutes, followed by six straight successful free throw attempts.

 

Freshman of the year candidate Erika Brown (Shreveport, La.) scored her career high of 25 points in the loss, which was a game high as well. Brown also grabbed nine rebounds.

 

Junior Andrea Dubose (Hickory, Miss.) was the only other Blossom to reach double-digits with 10 points.

 

With the loss, the Blossoms either need a win over Southern Arkansas or a Henderson State loss to No. 1 Delta State on Saturday to receive a bid into the Gulf South Conference Tournament that starts next Wednesday, Mar. 5.

 

The Blossoms travel to Magnolia on Saturday to take on the Lady Muleriders for a 5:30 p.m. tip-off. The game can be heard live on the radio at KHBM-FM 93.7, which will be streamed live through UAM’s athletic website by logging on to uamsports.com.
