MONTGOMERY, West Virginia — With the game tied and just a second remaining in regulation, junior Elizabeth Evans pulled down the offensive rebound and released a shot at the buzzer that rattled around the rim before falling to give WVU Tech women's basketball a 61-59 victory over the University of the Cumberlands (Kentucky) Saturday afternoon in the Baisi Athletic Center.

The game-winner capped off a season-high game for Evans who scored 15 points on 6-for-9 shooting from the field in addition to two rebounds and a steal. Senior Courtney Fisher led the offense for the Golden Bears with 17 points towards a double-double effort with a game-high 15 rebounds. Fisher also posted four steals and an assist.

Joining Evans and Fisher in double figures for Tech were freshmen Alexandra Combs with a career-high 13 points and Savannah Shamblin with 12. Shamblin, who also dealt out a team-best six assists, pulled down seven boards while Combs had four steals and three rebounds.

Shamblin has posted double-figures in seven out of nine of the Gold and Blue's contests and currently holds the No. 13 ranking in NAIA DII averaging 4.375 assists per game.
