Smith College outscored Wartburg 13-6 in overtime for a 61-54 win in the NCAA Division III Women’s Final Four in Columbus Ohio Thursday. Wartburg coach Bob Amsberry says it was a great game but unfortunately his team just came up short.

 

Amsberry calls this a special group of players.

 

Clear Lake native Sara Faber hit a three pointer with seconds to go in regulation to send the game into overtime and had 11 points.

 

Faber was asked about what kind of mindset she had in hitting the three-pointer to send it to overtime.

 

Faber says she’ll have good memories of this run to the Final Four.

 

Wartburg ends their season with a 29-3 record, which is the second most wins in a season in the program’s history.
