MINNEAPOLIS — NRHEG’s Carlie Wagner hit the game-winning shot with .08 seonds left in overtime to lift the Gopher women’s basketball team to a 90-88 victory over No. 5 Ohio State on Wednesday night. It was the Gophers' first top-five victory in 11 years.
Rachel Banham put on another show in her final game at Williams Arena, scoring 35 points.
Wagner scored 26 , the last on a pullup from the baseline after Banham fouled out, and the Golden Gophers (19-9, 11-6 Big Ten) picked up a much-needed signature win to strengthen their case for an NCAA tournament bid.
''It was stressful,'' Banham told The Associated Press. ''It's hard watching from the bench when you want to be in. I felt like we had control in the overtime and I knew Carlie could make that shot. It was a different view sitting there and having to watch it. But I'm glad that we got it.''
