With the Mariners down three and eight seconds remaining on the clock. Victoria Lane took the inbounds pass to the opposing three point arc. She stopped, pivoted and found teammate Kaleah Williams who launched the potential game tying shot from 22 feet out. The high arcing shot looked to be on target, but it hit the back iron and rimmed out and the Mariners fell 63-60 to Lassen College in the opener of the Modesto College Tournament.
