Salve women win CCC championship

Megan Barry hit one of two free throws with six seconds to play as Salve Regina won the Commonwealth Coast Conference championship, 53-52, over Colby-Sawyer yesterday in New London, N.H.

The Seahawks receive an automatic berth in the NCAA Division III Tournament. The pairings will be announced tomorrow. The win is Salve’s 18th in a row as the Seahawks ended Colby-Sawyer’s two-year reign as league champions.

Salve, which trailed by as many as 12 in the second half, tied the game at 52 on a Kristen Stone layup with 1:18 to play. After trading missed baskets, Barry was fouled with six seconds left. She missed the first free throw but knocked down the second. Salve then stole the ball when the Chargers attempted the game-winning shot.

Allegra Lovoy led Salve with 14 points while Stone added 10. Barry finished with 7 points and 13 rebounds.
