LAST GAME
Sophomore Micah Gray (Oklahoma City, Okla.) banked in a three-pointer at the buzzer to force overtime, but the Pirates were outlasted by No. 25 Princeton, 75-71, in double-overtime.

Trailing 59-56 with one second left, Gray banked in a shot in front of her bench to force extra basketball. With under a minute remaining in the second overtime, Azana Baines (Blackwood, N.J.) hit a pair of free-throws to give The Hall a 71-70 lead. The Tigers' Skye Belker hit a jumper with only 37 seconds left to put Princeton back ahead, and then Princeton iced the game on the free-throw line.

The Hall bested the strong-rebounding Tigers, 43-to-36, but it committed a season-high 28 turnovers and was just 10-for-20 from the free-throw line.

Gray was brilliant, going for a game-high 24 points on the strength of 7-for-13 shooting from three-point range. She also had a season-high six rebounds. Baines had a tough night shooting the ball, but still collected her first double-double of the season with 12 points and a season-high 11 rebounds.
