YPSILANTI, Mich. -- The Western Michigan women's basketball team dropped a wild 70-66 double-overtime game to Mid-American Conference (MAC) West rival Eastern Michigan Saturday afternoon with the game coming down to the final seconds.

Junior Meredith Shipman hit a deep contested 3-pointer as the time expired to send it to the first overtime. Shipman missed a 3-pointer with :20 to play in regulation earlier, but the Eagles went down for a layup and missed it giving the Broncos the ball with 1.6 seconds to play and setting up Shipman for her buzzer-beating shot.

At the end of the first overtime, the Broncos led 57-55 under :05 to play. The Eagles took a contested jumper and Phillis Webb grabbed the offensive rebound and finished a layup as time expired to send it to the second overtime.

In the second overtime, Cha Sweeney connected on a 3-point jumper with 3:27 to play to give the Eagles a 60-59 lead they would not surrender. The Broncos brought it within two points at the end, but Sweeney went 4-for-4 from the free-throw line down the stretch to ice the game.
