For a team that had a
record of 1-7 coming into this game,
being down by 18 points at times in the
first half and then having to travel to
Los Angeles from San Diego, the lady
Knights sure gave the Lady Vaqueros a run
for their hard earnd victory on some
agressive team defense in the second half
which they almost pulled out the vicory.
I've seen it on
television plenty of times where a game
has less than 3 seconds left and a team
being down by 1 point wins on a dramatic
last basket score but never have I
witnessed one.
Last night I got that
chance. I know that the lady Knights
won't agree with me but 2.9 seconds (to
be exact) is plenty of time to go the
distance of the court to score the
winning basket.

After
a tough fought come from behind
game, the lady Knights took the
lead 61-60 when Sophmore
5'4" Guard # 23 Melissa
Gaines (below RT) scored on a
layup with 4.3 seconds left on
the clock which clearly showed in
the background of that photo. After
an injury timeout was called
because Vaquero, Sophomore
5'4" #3 Mackenna Karasawa
was hurt on the inbound pass to
that play that put the lady
Knights up by 1.
Before play could resume
Vaqueros Coach Monica Hang
immediatly called for a full time
out which allowed her star player
and BS Player of the Game
Mackenna to get her composure
back to come in to finish off the
game.
Somehow, now the clock showed
2.9 seconds remaining on the game
clock instead of 4.3 seconds
which I thought it should have
been.(below RT).

| As
play resumed, the lady Vaqueros
with the ball, were now down by 1
and having to go the full
distance of the court in order
for the score and at most a 2
point lead. Remember the clock
doesn't start until a player in
the court touches the ball
So comes the inbound pass
which was to midcourt, from there
it was passed immediately to
Vaqueros 5'10" Sophomore #22
Blanca Collazo (below LF).

Who was waiting
under the basket for the easy
layup and the score to put the
Vaqueros up 62-61 even though
Knights Sophomore 5'10" #11
Nichole Stahnke was applying
perfect defense with time never
starting.
So the
contraversy started because the
clock never started which clearly
shows 2.9 seconds left on the
clock in the background of that
photo. (below)
The ref's
gathered to talk about the clock
issue, which is the right way to
handle this situation and came up
with putting it at 1 second left.

Now
the lady Knights having to go the
distance of the court to win the
game. Where time ran out due to
the heavy pressure put on them by
the Vaqueros
As we all know
that 2.9 seconds on a clock is
plenty of time to score the way
the Vaqueros did.
But not to the
lady Knights who now had an even
longer ride home. Awesome,
awesome game. To bad theres got
to be a loser.
