The Roanoke College women’s basketball team came up just short in their effort to capture the ODAC tournament championship as the Lady Maroons were defeated 77-68 in overtime by Randolph-Macon at the Salem Civic Sunday afternoon.

Roanoke led 63-60 with under seven seconds left in regulation before Randolph-Macon went the length of the court and tied the game on a despiration heave at the buzzer by Macon’s Jennifer O’Briant that banked in off the backboard. R-M controlled the overtime period, outscoring Roanoke 14-5.

The Lady Maroons were led by Jordan Gholson’s 21 points. Rebecca Bays (William Byrd) and Kendra Porter both chipped in 11 for Roanoke.
