Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Tuesday, January 25, 2005

FSU had yet another crazy overtime win last night, this time over Va Tech.

"We go into a double overtime game and I just can't say enough about my team and the way they came out and fought the way they did," coach Sue Semrau said. "I think our unsung hero was LaQuinta Neely, coming in and defending the way she did and she hit that driving runner to put us into double overtime. They just never quit. Roneeka (Hodges) and Alicia (Gladden) did what they always do. This team just continues to get better and better every game and more and more heart."

The Hokies had more than a few chances to put the game away. Up by two with nine second left in the first OT, Kerri Gardin got fouled, but she missed both free throws, and then the 'Noles scored at the other end. The Hokies never led in the second.
