Carly Hicks drew a foul and made both free throws to tie the game at 69 with 0.3 of a second left as she forced overtime at Occidental College Saturday afternoon. In overtime, though, the Tigers outscored the University of Redlands women's basketball team (9-9, 4-5) 9-2 and won 78-71 in Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SCIAC) competition.

Despite a 6-0 hole, AJ Wick made a jumper to kickstart an 8-2 run that tied the game at eight. During the run Wick had six points and Leila Hosn had the other two.

With just over a minute to play in the first quarter Hosn made a jumper in the paint to extend the Bulldog lead to five, 14-9, as they were on a 14-3 run. The Tigers scored the final basket of the quarter as it was 14-11 Redlands after 10 minutes.

Occidental took the lead for the first time since the opening minutes of the game at the 8:03 mark of the second. They held onto the lead for the remainder of the half. Redlands, though, made a late run. They were down by six, 33-27, with 2:12 to play before Hosn and Wick both scored to take them into the half down two, 33-31.

In the opening 90 seconds of the second half the teams stayed within one possession of each other before Hosn drew two fouls and converted all four of her free throws to help the Bulldogs go on a 6-2 run to take a 38-37 lead that came on a Colbi Zorich layup.

Neither team were able to extend their lead past three until the Tigers went on a 10-3 run over the final 2:39 of the third quarter as they held their largest lead of the game at eight, 58-50.

Redlands slowly chipped away at the deficit in the final quarter, coming within one with 4:04 on the clock before Occidental pushed it to six with 2:05 to play.

Over the final 1:47 Hosn, Zorich, and Wick scored five unanswered points to make it a one-point game, 68-67, with four seconds remaining.

After a foul by Hosn with less than two seconds, the Tigers made one-of-two free throws before Rich Murphy called a 30-second timeout and advanced the ball into the front court with 1.8 seconds left.

Out of the timeout they inbounded it to Hicks who got a look at the basket from behind the arc and missed it, but a whistle for a foul as time expired put 0.3 seconds back on the clock.

After discussion, however, it was decided that Hicks' shot was a two, not a three, so she got two free throws which she made to tie the game at 69.

Wick tied the game at the 3:37 mark of overtime, but that was the lone points of the five-minute period as the Bulldogs lost their four in-a-row.

Hosn continued her hot stretch offensively with a career-high 25 points. She has now scored double figures in five of the last six games.

Wick had 21 points and 10 rebounds. It is her third 20-10 game of the season and her second in three games.

Redlands will look to snap their losing streak against Caltech on Wednesday at 7 p.m. inside Currier Gym.
