ATCHIISON, Kan. – A four-game win streak was snapped for the No. 23 Central Methodist University women's basketball team in an overtime thriller at (RV) Benedictine College on Thursday evening.

The Ravens responded with back-to-back three's over the next minute of play to take a one-point lead, sealing the contest with a one-for-two showing at the free throw line and handing CMU a 67-65 loss.

As a team, Central Methodist went 35.4 percent from the field and an efficient 12-for-15 from the charity stripe. The team forced 23 turnovers and collected 12 steals, but were out-rebounded at a 44-38 margin.

Crimson Jones (JR/Flora, Ill.) led the squad in scoring with 14 points and nabbed five rebounds. Cierra Stanciel (SR/Chicago, Ill.) came off of the bench to tack on 12 points, after going 5-for-6 from the field, followed by Mitchell who rounded out the top scorers with 10 points while.
