It's likely the biggest regular-season win in the history of Hartford Hawks women's basketball, and it's too bad that it had to happen several hundred miles from home: coach Rizzotti and company shocked Duke in Chicago, in the first round of DePaul's November tournament.

If you've seen the Hawks in recent years, you know they play defense, and they like low-scoring games. The Dukies shot badly, while Hartford's Lisa Etienne shot 6-15: the underdogs underbirds managed late double-digit leads.

Then Duke started pressing, Waner hit a few shots, and the game came down to free throws in the last minute: Hartford sank enough of them to prevail, 53-51.

Exciting subplot: Hartford's MaryLynne Schaefer missed her first nine field goal attempts, then scored the last field goal and made three of four free throws. "They told me to keep shooting," Schaefer said.

Fun historical note: Etienne was one of the Penn State Three.
