The Skyhawks (26-4) took advantage of a plague of Bryant turnovers early in the half, going up 17-4 after back-to-back three-pointers from Kristen McWhirter less than six minutes into Sunday's Championship game. It took Bryant (20-11) the opening seven minutes to adjust to the fast pace set by Stonehill, but three straight treys from sophomore leading-scorer Kelsey O'Keefe (Warren, Mass.) closed the gap to 17-13.

RINDGE, N.H. - The thought passed through the minds of the bleacher full of Bryant faithful at halftime. But that was too soon to be thinking upset.

But still, they were the six seed - the road team that had already beaten a three seed in Tuesday's quarterfinal. Could they really make it two upsets in a row? But it finally sank in with about five minutes left in Friday night's Northeast-10 Conference Tournament semifinal against No. 2 Franklin Pierce. Bryant was going to win. But the Bulldogs played as if they knew what would happen all along.

She walked off - to the applause and appreciation of her team and her fans on Senior Day - just one assist short of her third double-double of the season. But her numbers weren't the ones that mattered to the senior. The only numbers that counted were the fiery red digits on the scoreboard: Bryant 77, Southern Connecticut 72.

SMITHFIELD, RI - As the buzzer sounded, it fell. An off-balance attempt from one leg as the clock ticked down to zero, the three-point shot clanked off the backboard and swayed in the net as it passed through, tying the game yet again and sending the matchup into double overtime at the Chace Athletic Center Saturday afternoon, 68-68. As the basket fell in, it seemed like the heroics of the Bryant University women's basketball team - starting with senior captain Lynne-Ann Kokoski (Hatfield, Mass.)'s buzzer beater to force a second overtime and continuing with double-double performances from freshman Siamone Bennett (Newburgh, NY) and sophomore Kelsey O'Keefe (Warren, Mass.) - would finally win out in front of a home crowd of 696 on Basketball Alumni Weekend.

BRYANT FALLS SHORT AT BENTLEY, 59-58, DESPITE 14-POINT CHARGE IN FINAL MINUTE
WALTHAM, MASS. - As the clock ticked below the one-minute mark Saturday afternoon at Bentley College's Dana Center, the Bryant University women's basketball team was faced with a near-impossible task: erasing a 56-44, 12-point deficit. At least everyone away from the bench thought so. Not the Bulldogs. In fact, they refused to believe it so much that they nearly pulled it off, silencing the Falcons' more than 1600 fans as they closed the scoring gap with each passing second. But despite a 14-point charge in the last 60 seconds of regulation - led by back-to-back-to-back 3-point field goals from freshman Lindsey Hudspeth (Mount Laurel, N.J.) - there would be no fairytale ending for the Bulldogs, who fell just short of what would have been their first-ever season sweep of rival Bentley College, 59-58.
