BOISE, Idaho – Three Broncos scored in double figures, but host Boise State fell 63-61 to Seattle U in nonconference women's basketball at ExtraMile Arena, Thursday.
Elodie Lalotte recorded her third double-double in the last five games with 14 points and 12 rebounds, each a career high. Mary Kay Naro added 14 points and equaled her career high with eight boards and Abby Muse chipped in 10 points.
"We need more consistency from everybody," Boise State Head Coach Gordy Presnell said. "We will learn from it (our mistakes) and get ready for Sunday."
The Broncos (1-5) led 52-50 after Lalotte made 1 of 2 at the free throw line with 3:38 remaining. After a Seattle U (4-3) 3-pointer, Lalotte scored inside to give Boise State the lead 54-53 with 2:51 left.
After another 3-pointer by the Redhawks, Seattle U was called for a technical foul due to having six players on the court. Naro made both free throw to the tie the game 56-56 with 1:59 to play.
The teams traded baskets before Seattle U made 3 of 4 at the free throw line to take a 61-58 lead with 10.6 seconds left. The Broncos called timeout to move the ball into the frontcourt, but a turnover on the inbound play led to two more points at the line. Kaitlin Burgess nailed a 3-pointer at the buzzer to account for the final score.
Boise State raced out to a 9-3 lead behind four points from Lalotte, a pair of free throws by Rachel Bowers and a Burgess 3-pointer. The Redhawks responded by outscoring the Broncos 9-4 over the final 4:05 of the period and Boise State led 13-12 after one quarter.
The game was tied 15-15 when Anna Ostlie knocked down a triple and Dominique Leonidas followed with a 3-pointer of her own to put the Broncos on top 21-15 with 5:52 left before intermission. Boise State went without a point for over four minutes before a turnaround jumper by Muse gave the Broncos a 23-19 advantage at the break.
Boise State stretched its lead 30-22 at the 7:16 mark of the third quarter on a 3-pointer by Naro. Seattle U regained the lead at 31-30 with a 9-0 run before another Naro trey put the Broncos up 33-31 with 3:18 remaining in the quarter.
The lead changed hands six more times before the period ended, the final time on a 3-pointer by Ostlie with the shot clock expiring to give the Broncos a 42-40 edge heading into the final 10 minutes.
