Overtime

- Towson has seen the end of many streaks during its renaissance basketball season. It finished off another one Tuesday night at George Mason. Jerrelle Benimon scored a career-high 31 points, including 22 in the first half, as the Tigers halted a 20-game losing streak to the Patriots with an 85-81 overtime triumph. Marcus Damas (23 points) made a pair of game-clinching free throws with 7.6 seconds left in the extra period for Towson (17-13, 12-5 Colonial Athletic Association)

Jeff Fountain picked an opportune time to rediscover his game. In just his second game as a starting attackman, the Lutherville native and St. Paul's graduate pumped in three goals in Georgetown's 9-8 overtime win against visiting Navy on Sunday at Multi-Sport Field in Washington. His last goal was the game winner with 2:04 left in the extra session. Fountain, a converted midfielder, said he was eager to improve on his zero-goal, one-assist performance in the Hoyas' 11-10 overtime loss to Lafayette on Feb. 16. “I had a tough week last week,” he said.

Sam Jones did the honorable thing. Rather than utter some cliché or point fingers elsewhere, Navy's junior attackman shouldered the blame for the team's inability to break a 9-9 tie in the final 30.8 seconds of regulation of Sunday's contest against Georgetown at Multi-Sport Field in Washington. “At the end of regulation, we had the ball with 30 seconds left, and I couldn't can one,” the Annapolis native and Severna Park graduate said. “I get the ball with 10 seconds left, and the team expects me to do something with it and I expect myself to do something with it, and at the end of the day, I didn't even get a shot off. That one's on me.” Jones - who led the Midshipmen with three goals - did the commendable thing, but the entire offense played a role in the Hoyas' 9-8 win in overtime Sunday.

One-score decisions continue to be unkind to the Navy men's lacrosse team. For the second time in as many contests, the Midshipmen squandered an opportunity to cement a victory in the final 30 seconds. On Sunday, that missed chance opened the door for host Georgetown to emerge with a 9-8 win in overtime before an announced attendance of 2,613 at Multi-Sport Field in Washington. Junior attackman Jeff Fountain , a Lutherville native and St. Paul's graduate, took a feed from redshirt junior midfielder Zac Guy, curled around the left post and deposited the ball behind senior goalkeeper Nolan Hickey to even the Hoyas' record at 1-1. Navy (2-2)

Senior midfielder Luke Heinsohn scored off an assist from senior midfielder Jack Switala with nine seconds remaining in double overtime to lead the Washington and Lee men's lacrosse team to a 7-6 win over host Salisbury on Wednesday. The loss gives Salisbury (1-2) its first two-game losing streak since the 2009 season and dropped the Sea Gulls under .500 for the first time since 1989.  It was also their first home loss since a 16-12 setback to Stevenson on April 16, 2011.  The six goals were the fewest scored by the Sea Gulls since a 9-6 loss to Tufts in the 2010 national championship game.

Dunbar senior guard Daxter Miles has shown a knack for the dramatics when the No. 2 Poets have played Edmondson this season. In an epic Baltimore City boys basketball championship game Tuesday at Morgan State - a well played and tightly contested battle that didn't have a defining moment until overtime, largely because neither team would budge - Miles once again stepped up at the opportune time. Trailing by two with nine seconds left in overtime, Miles sank a 3-pointer from the top of the key to give the Poets a thrilling 74-73 win over the No. 5 Red Storm for their second straight Division 1 championship.

Troy Snyder hit a 19-foot jumper with 2.7 seconds remaining in double overtime, lifting host UMES to a 64-62 victory over Coppin State on Monday. A jumper by Michael Murray tied the game at 62 with 19.7 seconds left before Snyder hit the game-winner, sending the Eagles (5-22, 2-10 Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference) to their seventh straight loss. The Hawks (2-20, 2-9) took their largest lead of the second overtime when Snyder hit a jumper that put them up 60-57 with 1:36 to play.

UMBC guard Brian Neller hit a 28-footer at the final buzzer, but the visiting Retrievers trailed the entire overtime period and lost to New Hampshire, 92-86, in men's basketball Wednesday. Neller hit five 3-pointers, scored 19 points and moved into third place on UMBC's all-time 3-pointer list with 241. Joey Getz scored a career-high 22 points to lead the Retrievers (6-19, 4-8 America East). Senior guard Ryan Cook (St. Vincent Pallotti) added 15 points. The Wildcats (7-16, 3-8)

The senior forward capped a week of big wins with 26 points, 14 rebounds and two steals in a 70-57 double-overtime upset at Riverdale Baptist on Friday that moved the Cavaliers back to No. 1 in The Baltimore Sun's Top 15 poll. Scaife, 6 feet, scored six points in overtime after fellow senior forwards Camille Calhoun and Sierra Clark fouled out. Earlier in the week, she had 20 points and 14 rebounds in a 52-29 win over No. 8 St. Frances and 12 points and eight rebounds in a 48-42 win over No. 7 Digital Harbor.

Jimmy Ryan scored in overtime to lift No.8 Colgate to a 14-13 win over Bryant on Sunday in the season opener for both teams. The host Bulldogs (0-1) tied the game for the sixth and final time with just eight seconds left in regulation with a goal by Brian Schlansker. But the Raiders (1-0) fought off Bryant's initial possession in overtime. Ryan and fellow midfielder Matt Clarkson accounted for nine of Colgate's 14 goals, with Clarkson scoring five. Both goal totals were career highs.
