After St. Thomas (11-7, 3-1) called timeout with 3.6 seconds left, Hill — who had a just-late buzzer-beater waived off at the end of the first half — inbounded the ball to sophomore Amber Scalia, who was immediately swarmed by the Oral Roberts (12-5, 3-1) defense. Hill stepped on the court, received Scalia's return pass and drilled the game-winning three.
Hill led the Tommies with 24 points, shooting 10-for-21 from the field, and also had six rebounds and five assists. It was her fourth game of 20 or more points this season.
Scalia and junior Jo Langbehn each added 14 points, with Langbehn pulling down a team-high eight rebounds. Scalia had a career-high six assists.
Two offensive linemen from Lakeville, Bryce Benhart and Riley Mahlman, are standouts for Big Ten rivals of Minnesota.
