LAKEWOOD, N.J.- Caldwell University women's basketball senior Casey O'Shaughnessy (Brooklyn, N.Y.) netted 22 points as the Cougars fell in the final seconds to Georgian Court University 67-66 in a Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference contest.
 
The Cougars falls to 7-9 on the season and 3-5 in the CACC, while the Lions improve to 4-9 and 2-5 in conference play.
 
A back and forth first quarter ended with a flurry as the Lions connected on a triple in the waning seconds. Senior Halle Brown (Downingtown, Pa.) took the in-bounds pass and launched a shot from half court, backing in a three-pointer to tie the score at 16 as time expired to end the quarter.

Caldwell used a 19-4 run over the next seven minutes as freshman Lucy Coogan (Kilkenny, Ireland) drained a triple to start the run. Senior Rebecca Morrison (Ayrshire, Scotland) added four in the run, while freshman Amyah Bray (Manchester, N.J.) connected on a pair from downtown, including one at the 1:22 mark to put the Cougars ahead 37-26. The Lions scored the final four points of the half to cut the score to 37-30 at halftime.
 
The Cougars pushed ahead 46-38 at the 6:09 mark of the third quarter but the Lions rallied back to take a 51-50 lead with just over a minute to play. Bray converted a four-point plat as time expired in the quarter to put Caldwell back in front 54-51 heading to the final quarter.
 
The teams traded leads throughout the final quarter with Lions connecting on a go-ahead three-pointer with 23 seconds left. The Cougars missed on a pair of shots in the waning seconds as Caldwell fell short.
 
O'Shaughnessy led the way with 22 points, four rebounds and three assists. Bray dropped in a career-high 13 points, shooting 4-for-8 from downtown, while adding four boards.
