LAST GAME
Senior Shadeen Samuels (Ossining, N.Y.) grabbed a rebound off a missed free-throw and scored with two seconds left to give the Seton Hall women's basketball team an improbable 65-63 victory on Sunday.

Freshman Mya Jackson (Wilmington, Ohio) was fouled, down a point, with only four seconds left and calmly made her first shot to tie the score at 63. She missed her second shot, but Samuels was able to pull down the rebound and score off the glass for the game-winner.

The never-say-die Pirates trailed by nine entering the fourth quarter, but opened the final frame with an 11-1 burst to get back into the game. Samuels finished with a team-high 25 points, including nine in the fourth quarter, on 10-for-13 shooting. She also pulled down seven rebounds.
