Evansville, Ind.
– Senior Samantha Robison hit a runner in the lane with 2.6 seconds left as No. 8 seed Maryville upset top-seed Drury 56-55 in the quarterfinals of the 2014 Deaconess Great Lakes Valley Conference women's basketball tournament at the Ford Center in Evansville, Ind. Thursday afternoon. The victory propels the Saints into the semifinals of the GLVC Tournament Saturday at noon against No. 4 seed Indianapolis, which beat No. 5 seed Missouri-St. Louis.
 
With the Saints up two and 19.4 seconds left to play, Drury's Sanayika Shields hit two free throws to forge a tie at 54-54. The Saints inbounded the ball but turned it over back to Drury and committed a foul. DU's Shelby White hit one free throw with 13.8 seconds remaining for a 55-54 lead but missed the second. Robison grabbed the rebound in traffic and dribbled up the right side of the court. She drove the lane and hit a runner for the game-winning basket with 2.6 ticks left. Drury inbounded the ball and a halfcourt shot hit the back of the rim and bounced away.
 
Robison and Shelby Miller led the Saints with 11 points apiece. Robison nearly recorded a double-double as she pulled down a game-high nine rebounds. Alex Hillyer added 10 points and blocked two shots. Shields led Drury with 17 points who fell to 24-3. At No. 6, Drury is the highest-ranked team Maryville had ever defeated.
 
The Saints up their record to 19-11 as the Saints improved to 8-1 all-time in the GLVC Tournament.
