Excerpt from the Dayton Daily News
Before this season, Wright State women’s basketball coach Katrina Merriweather didn’t really have a signature win in her program — the kind that deserves a photo display in the team’s headquarters at Setzer Pavilion.
Not that she hadn’t come close.
In her first year in 2016-17, the Raiders took a one-point lead with just over three minutes left at Illinois but couldn’t hold on, falling 76-72.
The next season, they were tied at No. 23 Missouri on the game’s last possession. The Tigers drew a foul with one second left, made two free throws and won, 82-80.
“We just didn’t have one,” Merriweather said of a program-elevating win.
“I was like, ‘We just can’t get it.’”
