WORCESTER, Mass. (Interstat) — Simone Foreman hit a pull-up jumper with four seconds remaining to lift Holy Cross to a dramatic 65-64 victory over Brown in a non-conference women’s basketball game on Wednesday night at the Hart Recreation Center.

The Crusaders, who trailed for the majority of the contest, mounted a fourth-quarter comeback to secure the win. Brown’s Alyssa Moreland had a chance to win it at the buzzer, but her layup attempt was blocked by Meg Cahalan, sealing the outcome for the home team.

Holy Cross improved to 2-1 on the young season, while Brown remained winless at 0-2.

The game was a back-and-forth affair defined by defense and missed opportunities at the free-throw line. Brown built an early lead, holding a 31-30 advantage at halftime and taking a 46-43 edge into the final period. The Bears led by as many as eight points in the first half.

Holy Cross’s fourth-quarter surge was powered by a 22-point frame, ultimately overcoming Brown’s persistent interior presence. The Bears dominated points in the paint, 40-28, and grabbed 13 offensive rebounds to Holy Cross’s seven. However, Brown’s inability to convert from the charity stripe proved costly, as the team made just 13 of its 25 free throw attempts. Holy Cross was far more efficient, shooting 10 for 12 from the line.

Cahalan led all scorers with 23 points for Holy Cross. Foreman recorded a double-double with 15 points and 11 rebounds, including the game-winning basket.

Brown was led by a balanced scoring attack. Charlotte Adams-Lopez and Monet Witherspoon each scored 14 points, while Aima Ofunrein added 11. Moreland filled the stat sheet with nine points, 11 rebounds and five assists in 21 minutes of action.

Holy Cross held a slight edge in efficiency, posting an offensive rating of 94.6 on 69 possessions compared to Brown’s 89.0 on 72 possessions. The Crusaders also forced 14 Brown turnovers, converting them into 14 points.

The game was played before an announced crowd of 684.

Holy Cross is scheduled to travel to face Marist on Sunday. Brown will look for its first win of the season on the road against Maryland-Baltimore County, also on Sunday.
