On a night where Lucy Olsen didn't score her first points until the third quarter, senior Bella Runyan's 16 points steadied Villanova. Up next: Penn State.
It was a touch-and-go fourth quarter for the Wildcats, and despite building up a double-digit lead with 4 minutes, 54 seconds remaining, the Hawks were relentless on the attack.But Villanova kept St. Joe’s at arm’s length as they maintained a six-point lead or more in the final 10 minutes of play. And come the final minute, it was just a matter of running out the clock.
The honorable-mention All American finished the game with 16 points and four rebounds. Olsen surged her efforts in the final minutes of the game, including going on her own 7-0 run over the course of 1:46 in the fourth quarter. “I think I’m just happy that my team was able to pick us up,” Olsen said. “That’s why it’s a team sport and I don’t need to do everything because we have such a great team.”
“We’re on break right now, so they had a bigger student section than us,” senior Bella Runyan said. “But we were 15 minutes away from tipoff and we looked around like ‘aw man it’s packed this is awesome.’Wildcats fans packed the Finn for the Big 5 battle, with the Hawks having their own sea of red in support.Any win is sweet, but your final win on your home court as a senior — that’s bittersweet.
