RESULT (OT)
Saint Louis 77, St. Bonaventure 75
Wednesday, Jan. 19, 2022 | 7 p.m.
Chaifetz Arena | St. Louis, Mo.

GAME DETAILS
• A trey with 4.2 seconds left in regulation and a layup with 0.9 seconds remaining in overtime were just five of Ciaja Harbison's career-best 36 points in the Billikens' thrilling comeback win in overtime over St. Bonaventure Wednesday night in an Atlantic 10 Conference game at Chaifetz Arena.
• Harbison finished just one point shy of the school record of 37 points set by Theresa Lisch at La Salle on January 17, 2009.
• The win moved the Billikens to 1-1 in league play and 5-9 overall. St. Bonaventure dipped to 0-4, 8-7.
• With three in the contest, senior Brooke Flowers became the Billikens' all-time leader in blocks (219).
• Harbison hit the 1,500-point milestone in the game, becoming just the fourth Billiken to accomplish that feat.
• Despite beginning the contest with a 9-0 lead, SLU found itself trailing 35-29 at the half.
• St. Bonaventure held a 12-point edge with 1:33 remaining in the third quarter, but a 5-0 run to end the frame pulled the Billikens back within seven.
• The Billikens scored the first eight points in the fourth period, taking a 56-55 lead with 4:22 remaining. It marked the first time SLU led in the game since early in the second.
• Trailing by three with 4.2 seconds left, Harbison connected from behind the arc to send the contest to overtime.
• The Billikens never trailed in the extra period, but there were three tie scores. Harbison beat the buzzer yet again, this time connecting on a tough shot from the paint with under one second left on the clock.

BILLIKEN NOTABLES
• Harbison's 12 field goals were also a career mark. She went 9-for-10 from the free throw line and finished with 36 points, three assists, one steal and one block.
• Natalie McNeal collected her second career double-double with 13 points and 10 rebounds, along with four assists.
• Flowers posted a game-high 16 rebounds, while also tallying eight points and three blocks.
