SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y.—Senior Haley English scored six points in the final 33 seconds to lead the Skidmore College women's basketball team to a 52-48 Liberty League win over St. Lawrence University in front full house at the Williamson Center.
 
The Thoroughbreds (9-16, 8-10) secured the sixth and final Liberty playoff spot on Friday night. Skidmore will travel to Vassar College on Feb. 19 for a quarterfinal contest. The third-seeded Brewers dropped their final two game to fall from first to third in the final standings.
 
Kate McCarney led a group of four Skidmore players in double figures with 14 points off the bench. Jessica Centore had 11, while English and Taylor Ong scored 10 each. Centore had a game-high six steals. Lilly Berg pulled down 10 rebounds and had four.
 
Katie Frederick topped the Saints with 17 points, 14 rebounds, and two blocks.
 
The game was tied 46-46 with 33 seconds to play when English swiped the ball from Dylan Watkiss. English quickly scored despite a hard foul. She converted the old fashion three for a 49-46 lead. After a pair of Saint misses, English went to line with eight seconds left and calmly sank both shots for a 51-46. An uncontested SLU layup cut it to 51-48 with :07 left. English hit one of two free throws with :01 left for the 52-48 final.
 
Skidmore scored 16 points off 23 Saint turnovers. SLU had a 46-38 rebound advantage.
 
It was Senior Day for Thoroughbred seniors Kayla Mitchell, Ong, and English. The trio was honored in a pregame ceremony.
