Jessica Bygate's buzzer-beating fallaway jumper sealed a key 63-61 victory for MACC's women at Fitzsimmons-John Arena.
Moberly had a two-point lead at halftime, but fell down by as many as seven in the second half, and fought through the ejection of head coach Chad Killinger and a right leg injury to Mykel Boyd late in the game to prevail. Bygate and Boyd each ended the game with 14 points, and Ashley Stevenson led all Lady Hounds with a consistent 18.

Before her injury on a fast-break layup that got waved off due to an earlier foul, Boyd was the reason Moberly hung with the Lady 'Riders.
Mykel scored 10 of her 14 points in the first 10 minutes of the second half, which coach Wiggs said was no surprise.....

Crowder was led by the 21 points of Sarah Sagely, who hit four three-pointers in the game but non in the final ten minutes of action against Moberly's man-to-man defense. Jordan Hunter was one of two New Zealand natives that started for the Lady 'Riders, and scored 10.
The win gives the Lady Greyhounds a 14-8 record, with a 3-2 mark in Region XVI action. That's now tied with Crowder's 3-2 region record, and puts Moberly at third place in the region behind 4-1 State Fair and 4-2 Jefferson. The Lady 'Riders fell to 14-7 overall after the close loss.
The MACC women will be in action again in the front half of a doubleheader with the men at Fitzsimmons-John Arena on Saturday. The Lady Hounds will play Iowa Western, and the Greyhounds will face West Plains. Pregame coverage will begin at 4:45 Saturday evening on KWIX and online.
