Women's Basketball Opens League Slate with OT Win at Maritime

VALLEJO, Calif. - Esther Wofford and Fallon Greenhaw each recorded double-doubles, and Simpson took advantage of Kelsie Jurin's three-pointer at the buzzer to end regulation to force overtime as the Red Hawks defeated Cal Maritime 76-73 in the Cal-Pac Conference opener for both teams.

Simpson trailed by as many as 11 midway through the fourth quarter, but outscored the Keelhaulers 20-9 to send the game into the extra session. Wofford made a free throw with :08.3 remaining in overtime to give SU the lead for good. Greenhaw sealed the game with a defensive steal and a pair of charity tosses with :02.5 left in the game.

Wofford led all scorers with 27 points, and Greenhaw added 21. Both grabbed 12 rebounds. Shayla Smothers also reached double figures with 11 points. Her three-point basket with just under 30 seconds remaining in regulation set up the opportunity for Jurin's trey to tie it. Jurin finished the night with nine points and six assists.

The win is the fifth in eight games for the Red Hawks, who play at UC Merced on Saturday.
