Summary
Two women’s college teams scored on their own baskets Friday in separate games, an unusual same-day pair of blunders in college basketball.
New Mexico State’s mistake came with just over 20 seconds left and the Aggies trailing 61-60, when Emma Christiana stole an inbounds pass and laid the ball into Southern Utah’s basket for the wrong team.
A scoreboard error initially missed the own basket, but New Mexico State recovered anyway as freshman Stacy Chovino scored twice in the final seconds, including the winner with 2 seconds left, for a 64-63 victory.
Northwestern State’s error came earlier against Arkansas, when guard Karma Wynn scored into the Razorbacks’ basket on an inbounds play; Arkansas went on to win 89-59.
