HIGHLAND HEIGHTS, Ky. (Interstat) — Anna Hamilton’s driving layup with 13 seconds remaining Tuesday night lifted Northern Kentucky to a 77-76 victory over Oakland in a Horizon League women’s basketball game at Regents Hall.

The Norse, who led by as many as 12 in the first half, survived a 24-point third quarter by the Golden Grizzlies to secure the win. Hamilton’s decisive basket came after Oakland’s Makenzie Luehring, who scored a game-high 26 points, missed a free throw that would have tied the game with 26 seconds left.

Northern Kentucky’s Karina Bystry scored 19 points, while Mya Meredith added 18. Filippa Goula led Oakland with 22 points. The Norse improved to 11-14 overall, while the Golden Grizzlies fell to 8-14.
