Feldpausch's last-second putback secures dramatic win over Goshen

GOSHEN, Ind. – A buzzer-beating basket by Teona Feldpausch punctuated a fourth quarter rally by the Spring Arbor University women's basketball team as the Cougars overcame a double-digit deficit late to defeat Goshen College 58-57 on Wednesday.

Spring Arbor trailed by 11 points in the fourth quarter, but battled its way back to get within one in the closing seconds. With the clock winding down, a potential go-ahead 3-pointer by Cierra Lipps was off the mark, however, Feldpausch hauled in the offensive rebound and scored on the putback before the final horn.

The Cougars held Goshen scoreless over the final 6:54, finishing the game on a 12-0 run to secure a spot in the upcoming Crossroads League Tournament.

  • Feldpausch kickstarted the comeback, sinking a pair of free throws. A 3-pointer by Lipps and a layup by Grace Shoobridge got SAU within four, 57-53, at the 4:44 mark. Then, a clutch triple from Wright narrowed the gap to one.
  • After forcing a key turnover, Spring Arbor gained possession with 15 seconds remaining. With the clock winding down, a potential go-ahead 3-pointer by Lipps was off the mark, but Feldpausch hauled in the offensive board and scored on the putback before the final horn.
