STAC was down fifteen points (68-53) with 3:04 to go in the game but continued to fight as they rattled off a 16-3 run that fell short.  Theresa Dowling hit three free throws to bring them within three with less then two seconds remaining on the clock.  The Lady Spartans deflected the inbounds pass but were unable to get a shot off as they got tied up in a jump ball.
