DOYLESTOWN (PA) - Moira Donohue scored a career-high 33 points, including the game-winning free throws with 13 seconds left in the second overtime as Delaware Valley College edged visiting Drew University, 89-88, in a wild, non-conference game.

Drew took an 87-88 lead with 28 seconds left in the second overtime as Jessica DelVecchio drained a 3-pointer from the left corner. Delaware Valley came back down the court and cleared out for Donohue who was fouled while driving to the basket. The senior guard calmly hit both foul shots for the 89-88 advantage.

Following a timeout, the Rangers had a chance for the lead but Emma Grossman's running layup rolled off the rim and Delaware Valley's Michelle Oyer grabbed the rebound and was fouled with six tenths of a second to play. Oyer missed both foul shots, but time expired on Drew and the Aggies had the win.

Delaware Valley led by as many as 14 in the first half and still held a 12-point advantage with eigh minutes to play. Drew rallied and then tied the game in dramtic fashion to force overtime. Down 69-67 with eight seconds to go, Grossman threw a baseball-like pass down the court. Allison Hartnett leaped over a defender for the ball, raced in and hit a layup while being fouled with five ticks left. However, Hartnett missed the ensuing free throw and the Aggies didn't get a shot off at the end of regulation.

In the first overtime, Drew led by as many as four, 74-70, with 2:44 remaining.

It stayed that way until the Aggies' Jen McCarthy was fouled with 1.9 seconds left. The senior hit the first foul shot but missed the second, sending the game into a second overtime at 76-76. That led to Donohue's heroics at the end and a Delaware Valley victory.
