Danaea Williams (Kalamazoo Central) dropped in a
three-pointer at the end of regulation to send the Lady Cougars into overtime
today. After falling behind by 6
points in overtime, this determined Valley team rallied back to squeak out a
thrilling 70-69 overtime win for their 31st win of the season.
With the
70-69 overtime victory over Glendale Community College from Arizona, the KVCC Lady Cougars, who ended the
regular season ranked No. 1 in the nation, improved their odds of winning a
national championship.
The next opponent is Mitchell Community College of New
London, Connecticut, on Thursday at 2 p.m.
Another victory puts the KVCC entry on course for a showdown
against teams in a second of the four brackets. One of them is Penn Valley Community College of Kansas City,
Mo., which is ranked No. 2 in the nation.
If the Lady Cougars win that matchup at 6 p.m. Friday, they
earn the chance to vie for the National Junior College Athletic Association
Division 2 championship at 8 p.m. Saturday.
