MOREHEAD, Ky. – After senior forward Eriel McKee propelled the Eagles past the Redhawks on a three-point basket at the buzzer on Jan. 11, Morehead State women's basketball completed the season sweep of Southeast Missouri with a 60-58 win in overtime on Thursday night at Johnson Arena.

With its second overtime victory of 2017-18, Morehead State moves to 18-8 on the season and 9-4 in the Ohio Valley Conference. Southeast Missouri's OVC record falls below .500 to 6-7, posting an 11-14 mark overall.

The Eagles overcame a modest performance shooting the ball, sinking its lowest field-goal total (20) of the conference season. Morehead State trailed the Redhawks 16-11 after the opening quarter, falling behind 22-21 at the halftime break.

The Eagles caught fire in the third, however, shooting 7-of-16 (.438) and commanding a 42-33 lead at the end of the period. But, the tables turned once more when SEMO locked in on 5-of-11 (.455) field goal attempts and a game-high seven made free throws in the fourth quarter, just as Morehead State hoisted a game-low 3-of-16 (.188) from the floor.

With the score tied at 50, Southeast Missouri's Ashton Luttrull was called for an offensive foul that gave the Eagles the ball and 20 seconds with which to work. Junior guard Miranda Crockett came out of the ensuing timeout and surveyed the court at the top of the key, finding the red-hot Darianne Seward for an attempt to recreate McKee's late-game magic from less than a month prior. Seward got off a clean look at the basket as time expired, but her floater clanged out and sent the game to overtime.

SEMO's Deja Jones nailed a go-ahead free throw with 44 seconds left in OT, putting the Redhawks ahead 58-57. Crockett took control of the ball once more after a quick timeout called by the Eagles, driving in the lane and sinking a game-winning bucket with only 30 seconds to go. Southeast Missouri could not capitalize on the resulting possession, leading to a defensive rebound and one last free throw by Seward to seal the victory.

Seward finished with a game-high 21 points, three rebounds, two assists, and a career-high seven steals. McKee dialed in 16 points, seven boards, three assists, one block, and three steals. Erin Blaine was the last of three Eagles to score in double-figures, notching 10 points, nine rebounds, and a season-high five steals. Crockett ended the night with seven points, three boards, and three dimes.

Morehead State will travel 70 miles west to face in-state foe Eastern Kentucky (7-15, 4-9 OVC) in the first of three consecutive away games to close the Eagles' regular season road slate. The rivals are set to tip off on Saturday at 4:30 p.m. ET.
