...first meeting. Tough defense and some fine shooting in a two-minute span closed the gap to just six at 58-52 with 4:21 left. Then the Crimson ran the shot clock down on its next possession and McNally found himself with the ball and well-covered just inside the arch.

I knew that if I could keep the ball deep, [Morrissey] would make mistakes.” Davis swept the first set, but in the second set she quickly fell behind three games to none. “It was nerves,” Davis said. “But I buckled down and regained focus.” In doubles play, William & Mary...
