The Coyotes finally managed to fend off Wasburn, winning 85-80 in two overtimes.
Both teams started the second OT off slow. There wasn’t a score by either team until Bridget Yoerger hit a two with 2:29 left.
USD stretched the lead to 79-75 on a layup by Jeana Hoffman with 0:55 remaing. Washburn answered with a two and USD missed a shot on their next possession, but Yoerger came up with a big offensive rebound. Yoerger passed the ball to Shannon Daly, who was fouled with 0:14.5 left. She hit both free throws to put USD up 4.
On Washburn’s possession, Corkey Stiger was called for a pushoff trying to get open for a three, and the game was pretty much over from there.
A few more USD free throws, and USD won 85-80.
USD will face Delta State (Miss.) in the semifinals tomorrow night at 9:30 p.m.
