Lynx win in OT 69-67

[November 03, 2011]  CHICAGO -- Lincoln College took their first lead of the Wednesday night game in overtime and didn't look back. Down nine at the half to Wilbur Wright College, Lincoln turned on the defensive pressure in the second half.  It wasn't until about the 10-minute mark that the Lynx cut it to a one-possession game.

Mosley was able to get a steal after making two free throws to cut the score to 59-61. Arthur Gage and Greg Garrett immediately trapped the inbounds pass, and Mosley then stole the pass to tie the game with 20 seconds left. Wilbur Wright was able to get two shots off to end regulation.

The game was tied at 61-all.

The OT saw the Lynx take a 65-61 lead but saw Wilbur Wright claw back to make it 66-65  However, Moananu missed a deep 3-pointer in the corner, followed his shot to secure the rebound and got fouled to give the Lynx enough of an advantage to win the game.

The Lynx, No. 1 in the preseason poll, play Friday against No. 4 Kirkwood, Iowa, in the John Wood Classic.
