OWINGS MILLS, Md. – The Albright women's basketball team concludes its pregame warm-up routine with a pair of players practicing ball handling and passing. Juniors Kelecia Harris and Emily O'Donnell are warm-up partners and at the end of the warm-up period, O'Donnell will take a pass from Harris and shoot a three-pointer. While the three-point attempt is light hearted, that practice almost paid huge dividends for the Lions in the Commonwealth Conference Tournament Championship game on Saturday versus Stevenson.

With Albright trailing 53-50, O'Donnell fired a three-pointer with 8 seconds remaining in regulation but the shot did not fall and the Mustangs claimed the Commonwealth Championship with a 54-50 victory over the Lions in the Owings Mills Gymnasium.

Albright, which battled foul difficulty and a tough Stevenson defense all night, saw its six-game winning streak come to an end. The Lions now await their fate in regards to a possible berth in the NCAA Tournament which will be announced on Monday.

Stevenson, which overcame foul trouble of its own, improved to 23-3 on the season and secured the conference's automatic bid into the NCAA Tournament.

The Mustangs used a rally late in the second half to overcome the Lions.

After Kelecia Harris gave Albright a 42-38 lead with 7:47 to play in the game, the Mustangs fought back.

Kayla Kelly answered with a layup, and the Mustangs tied the game at 42-42 when Kayleigh Guzek converted a pair of free throws with 6:44 to play in the game.

Kelly capped the 6-0 run with a pair of free throws to give Stevenson a 44-42 lead with 6:22 left in the second half.

Jane Joyce made one of two free throws for Albright to end the run and bring the Lions to within 44-43 at the 6:05 mark.

Kelly then added two free throws and a jumper to push the Mustangs lead to 48-43 with 4:53 left in the game.

Joyce and Sara Tarbert exchanged free throws and Kelly converted a three-point play giving Stevenson a 52-44 lead with 2:27 left in the contest.

Albright would not go away though.

Harris and O'Donnell made back-to-back baskets to cut the lead to 52-48 with 1:20 left in the game.

Kyarra Harmon made one of two free throws, but O'Donnell scored inside to trim the lead to 53-50 with 42 seconds to play.

On the Mustangs next trip, Tarbert missed inside and O'Donnell collected the rebound setting up the Lions for their game-tying attempt.
