Late Forney Free Throws Lift Lady Jackets to Victory (Nov. 21, 2003)
Box Score

SEATTLE, WASophia Forney (Fr., Livingston, MT) made a pair of free throws with just 2.5 seconds on the clock as MSU Billings edged Central Washington 70-68 Friday afternoon in the opening round of the Falcon Hoop Classic hosted by Seattle Pacific.  The meeting was a rematch of last year's NCAA Tournament first round game which the Yellowjackets won 91-69.  MSUB is now 2-1 on the season and 10-1 all time against the Wildcats.  CWU falls to 1-1 for the year.

Forney was 3-of-5 from the free throw line, including the final two points of the game, and scored 13 points.  She was fouled on an 8-footer by Lindsay Weiss, who had tied the game at 68 just moments earlier with two of her team-high 18 points.  Central Washington was unable to get off a last second shot before the buzzer after Forney's free throws.  Jenny Langford (So., Reedpoint, MT) scored a career-high 21 points to lead all scorers in the game.  She was 7-of-12 from the field and 6-of-8 from 3-point range, setting a new career high for 3-pointers made in a game.

Central Washington led by as many as 11 in the first half and by five at halftime before the Yellowjackets rallied to close the gap in the second half.  There were seven lead changes after intermission, but the Yellowjackets never trailed in the final six minutes of the game. 

Center Robyn Milne (Jr., Richey, MT) recorded her third-straight double-double of the season with 15 points and 14 rebounds.  She is averaging 17 points and 13.7 rebounds a game through the first three games of the year.  In addition to Forney, Langford and Milne, the Lady Yellowjackets got 10 points from Alisa Lordemann (Jr., Glendive, MT), five from Tanya Peterson (So., Billings, MT), four from Jennifer Skrifvars (Fr., Brea, CA) and two from Kayla Frize (Jr., Miles City, MT).

The Lady Jackets will face Seattle Pacific on Saturday in a rematch of last year's West Region semifinals.  The unbeaten and top-ranked Falcons defeated the Yellowjackets to move on to the regional finals, where they lost to Cal State-Bakersfield.
